Article from the official Tokio Hotel Forum Italy in BIG (IT) Magazine

Since 2009, the THOIF (Tokio Hotel Official Italian Forum) substitute any gift to the band with a charity action that have donated more than 2.500€ from various institutions. These projects range from basic fundraising for earthquake victims in Abruzzo, to a collaboration with UNICEF, with which they have collected over 400€ by saling “Tokio-Pigotte” made by the same fans, with their idols style. Knowing the love for the animals of their idols (recently the Kaulitz twins have been the image of PETA’s campaign against the use of animals in circuses), for the birthday of Bill, Tom and Gustav, the fans adopted dogs and gave them the respective names. That dogs are nowadays the oficial pets of the forum. Last, but not least important, for 2010 Christmas, the fan club action consist in the contribution of the purchase of an ultrasound machine to the peadiatric oncology division of a hospital (action unfinished yet).

In addition to the initiatives of the official forum, there have been other humanitarion projects initiated by the autonomous forum : THOIFC (Original Fan Club of Tokio Hotel Italy), which is auctioning an autograph of Bill to donate the money to the people of Haití, and the THIFC (Italian Fan Club Tokio Hotel) has supported two campaigns to support a rare disease curable only out of the country. Similar grants were made by Malte di Tokiotellite (yes, there are adult fans, but not many) for earthquake victims in Aduzzo and people with difficulties, this should be added that this sensitivity to social issues of the Tokio Hotel fans is not just from the italian fans, similar projects have been launched in other european countries and in America… but Italy is by far the most active in this kind of actions !

Tokio Hotel's Page in Facebook is False

As we all know, recently we informed you about a Facebook page called “Tokio Hotel Latin America”, that it seemed it was accredited by Universal Music. This was said that if by 15 January, it reached 25,000 people, Tokio Hotel will give a full tour in Latin America in 2011. Universal Music Mexico said this page is not accredited by Universal Music or the band, so if it reaches 25,000 people, Tokio Hotel will not give any tour in Latin America this year. In addition, the band is in the studio working on their new album which will be released later this year.

Concerts in Russia

The Tokio Hotel Russian Fan Club have said that EuroEntertainment (the concerts organization) have said that after the holidays will be information about the band concerts in Russia.

OEM México – El 2010, lleno de buenos conciertos

Another year comes to an end, yes, 365 days, where the city of Mexico and some parts of the interior of the Republic, were seduced by the presence of bands and solo artists. Some had new discs, played for the sheer pleasure of consenting to its faithful followers, while others could not go unnoticed and miss the chance to come to the country to offer the best of their repertoire. Twelve months, which were filled with great moments.
