Bill: With me it’s that I can… well, from the font, from the cover, up to every merchandise-article that we have, I just can’t… I hate it when it doesn’t run across my desk. If one e-mail …

Wolfgang Joop: It’s the same with me, do you think that I would take a shoe from any other?

Bill: No…

Wolfgang Joop: Or an earring, or a belt? If there isn’t a belt, then they just run along the catwalk naked. If it’s not directly led by me, born of me, rehashed by me, then I wouldn’t do it. But I don’t dress any girl. I don’t touch the clotheses anymore.

Bill: Yeah..okay.

Wolfgang Joop: You won’t see me bringing a dress to a model.

Bill: But that’s probably a good solution.

Wolfgang Joop: I don’t find any bow tie, nothing. I stay theoretical, at the back. Otherwise I would go crazy.

Bill: I think I also have to…

Wolfgang Joop: You have to say “Cut! Now it’s the others’ turn!”

Bill: I can’t stand this at all. Then I make this once in a while and think “Come on, this is such an unimportant small thing, I let the others do that” and then it goes wrong and I think “This is shit!”, because it’s my…

Wolfgang Joop: But it’s only you who thinks so…

Joop: But the whole collection is then on flowers and gardens, well, “Jardin Portugal” – “The garden Portugal”. And therefore I made all those silhouettes, and at the same time.. I was a “Punk et (?)”. So, doesn’t matter which direction you make,.. uhm “seasonings” means “Würzen” in English, […] and I’m not up for it, that the people look so uniform, you know?
Bill: The shoes are also wicked here..
Joop: I designed everything at home, designed all persons, everything moi, moi, moi!
Bill: Wow! Awesome!
Joop: This is the witness. … But without Sarah I wouldn’t have come up with the idea.
Bill: Really? That’s good..
Joop: Sarah can sometimes look kinda empty, like a white screen.

I know, this translation is strange, but imo Joop is mumbling so much here and I really don't know how to translate better xD :x

Wolfgang Joop: It always sounds so silly, when older people say that it’s so bad nowadays, but I find this whole Internet-crap…

Bill *interrupts*: No, not at all… (referring to the “It always sounds so silly”)

Wolfgang Joop: …really bad.

Bill: I actually grew up with the internet as well and I find it SO bad! Well, of course, it opens many new ways, but it also brings so many bad things. If I could press a button and if I could abolish the internet for everyone, I would press it immediately. You do something and one minute later it’s all over the internet and it goes around the whole world and everyone is allowed to comment it, everyone can judge it, everyone makes his opinion about it, where I often think that something gets destroyed, a magic gets lost, such a magic you think of it, because everyone destroys it immediately and leaves a comment and make a mess on it.

Wolfgang Joop: For example also that “Gurem” (?), as good as it may be,…

Bill *interrupts*: But also the appreciation of all the products, of magazines, of… whatsoever, books, fashion, music, films, that all doesn’t exist anymore, because you get everything, …

InRock #234 (JP) - visit Japan for the very first time

[Ichbinda]

Scans by theresa@THCN Translation by bakela13&Jane純@THCN

Tokio Hotel will visit Japan for the very first time！

A exclusive interview with Bill.

“you should do what you really want to do, therefore you should take full confidence in yourself.”

Bill Kaulitz/Tokio Hotel Interviewer: AI ANAZAWA

Though the german super band Tokio Hotel names “Tokyo”, they have never be in Japan before. Our InRock magazine claimed in 2006 and 2007 that we would publish a exclusive interview. But after then they didn’t release the Japanese version album. So we just released news about them. Because they are always so busy, that it’s very difficult for us to get a opportunity to interview them. However, there is a huge amount of crazy Japanese fans who support them all the time. And now a “delicious meal” is waiting for those fans - A japans special album will be launched in February next year. By the way, they decided that they will visit Japan in the next month (December). So that's how it is! Eventually, in the middle of October, we got the opportunity to have a telephone interview with the soul figure of the band – Bill.

Now let’s have a brief review of the growth course of bill, as well as Tokio Hotel. Bill , and his twin brother Tom who was bored 10 minutes earlier, were bored in 1st Sep. 1989 , in Leipzig in eastern Germany. The twins began to compose at 7 years old. Gordon Trümper, who was the lover of their divorced mother at that time (and now he is their step-father), discovered their music talent and guided them to form a band. At 10 years old, Bill and Tom started to play live show near Magdeburg as Black Question Mark. 2 years later, in a small live gig, Georg and Gustav came to see their performance. And then they formed a band called DEVILISH, but the response is not so strong. Afterwards, Bill participated in a TV program “Star Search”, and attracted a famous music producer's attention. In 2005，they sighed with Universal officially, and changed their name to “Tokio Hotel”. In the same year, the first Album ”Schrei” came out, and climbed to the top of the charts immediately, which sold out 600,000 only in Germany.
2 years later, they released their second album ”Zimmer 483”, attracted most of german teenage, and became a very famous band. Bill’s unique hair-style has become a hit. Teenage magazine Bravo did a special edition for them almost every week.

However, Tokio Hotel are not satisfied with the success in the Europe. They made a English version “Scream”, including all the best songs from two former albums, and began to develop worldwide. They decided to visit Japan once. Unfortunately, it was canceled because of many reasons. After their first Japanese version album ”Tokio Hotel”(2006) released, the last album ”Humanoid” hasn’t launched Japanese version until now. But now everything is ready, “Tokio Hotel in Tokyo” will finally come true.

I’m not telling a lie, I really have no girlfriend for almost 7 years.

--Bill?
Bill: Hi. We four are all here. Georg, Gustav and Tom.(The other three of them were saying“Hi”，too.)
--Ah, you are all here. Hi~ What have you done this morning?
Bill: We took photos in Hamburg.
--By the way. Your band’s name is Tokio Hotel. But you have never been to Tokyo, that's incredible. It’s kind of pity, isn’t it?
Bill: We haven’t had a chance to go to Tokyo. But we have decided to visit Tokyo on December this year, we four are looking forward to it. It might be one of our goals to go to Japan, we talked a lot about visiting Japan, and it finally come true this year. It’s unbelievable, we are really excited.
--Why that you didn’t make it for so long? Is it because you’re too busy?
Bill: I don’t know. There are too many things have to be done in Europe, and we are to enter the United States and South America market at the same time, and Malaysia and Singapore as well. Now, the time was come. Our company and the other staffs have all said YES, after obtained the permission, the plan was set up.
--The fans of Japan have waiting for a long time.
Bill: We are glad that there are so many people loving us.
--It’s said that the staffs of German television will come in the company of you to Japan as the ambassador of the memorial of diplomatic relations between Japan and Germany?
Bill: Ah? I didn’t hear about that. Maybe it’s true. But that our photographers will come with us that is sure. I don’t know if you do know or not that Tokio Hotel TV will take our photographers to go together, which can let the fans all over the world experience our journey through the camera. So, maybe the photographers will go, if they do, that is what was called staffs.
-- Oh, I see. So, are everything going on well recently?
Bill: We are focused on the Latin American tour, the rehearsal is coming up. Ah, by the way, there’s a new rehearsal room which is being built in Hamburg, so we have these things to be deal with as well. The rehearsal of Latin American tour has to be held in the new rehearsal room, and we will go to Japan after that. What a full schedule it is.
--I also heard that. I’m longing about it. But I heard that Bill and Tom will go to LA for the next album.
Tom: We will give a little show case in Japan.
Bill: Yeah. We are going to LA on the end of this month or next month. (Note: This interview was in a day of the middle ten days in October. )The details are not clear, but we are dying to go to LA.
--Have you started writing the songs of next ablum?
Bill: About the tunes, that have been written all the time. I summed some ideas up, and took the mini-laptop and small family acoustics with me wherever I went. So I could recorded something at any time. However, I can’t use the new-made program completely, and haven’t stepped into the studio. So, that two or three so-called new songs are still unfinished. Therefore, I don’t know when they can be published as new album.
-- Have you decided that the next album will in English or in German?
Bill: That also haven’t been decided. There were both two languages every times . Sometimes we made songs to suit the German lyrics, and also translate it into English. But now we are working English lyrics. I will be very happy to work the English lyric out because of my good moon. I was used to sing in my mother language, so I was afraid to sing in English at the beginning, it’s hard for me. But now I have used to it, for me, singing in English and traveling all over the world are very happy things. So, Tom and I are working the English lyrics together . Still, it’s hard to say that the next album will in which language.
-- About English, abuot two or three years ago in the interview of InRock , you were talking in German with the help of an interpreter . When did your English become so good, it’s a big surprise.
Bill: I went to the USA, and stay a time in LA to learn English well, I think that’s a good way to do that. But, you will know as you’re listening that my English is still poor.
-- Not so, as a Japanese I cannot say something about it (laughs), but your English is really good!
Bill: Thank you. IF you can got used to this kind of language , confidence in yourself gradually, and place yourself in the crowd who speak English, which will get a good effect.
-- I see. Is there any difference between working the lyrics out in English compare with in German?
Bill: It’s totally different. We noticed that when we recorded the early songs. It’s difficult to translate the whole song into English, it takes too much time in the studio to do this, and I started to be agitated. Because no matter in German or in English, it must be the successful one. We can say we are perfectionist, I wouldn’t stop working at it until it has been done if it was not perfect. Because of this, the recording work was very difficult and it expanded to worry at last. Well, I didn't know what to do on the future at that time. Like I just said, I’m enjoying when working songs for the English lyrics. And English, it’s easier to write than to speak. They are different.
-- Maybe. So, what kind of songs are you writing? And what are you concerned with recently? Girls, or World peace?
Bill: The most important inspiration should be love. Love is all of life. The so-called love is not just limited to the relationship with girls, love is always around us. Therefore, inspiration is more important than anything else. Although saying so, but I have thought a lot of themes for the songs. Especially getting good timulation in the tour, which is very suitable for composing tunes. Besides, to meet a lot of fans in Asian countries, to act on the stage, these are inspirations, so no one can say that what kind of songs will be wrote out.
-- Love is always around us. Is it your faith?
Bill: Yes, it is. That's what I think. Especially as a member of Tokio Hotel. We always on the tour, it’s very important to receive love from the people who we love, and the people who give their love to us. Fans, family or girlfriends. Although I don't have a girlfriend, but I still think that love is all.
--What? You don't have a girlfriend? Is that a lie which was arranged?
Bill: I’m not telling a lie, I really have no girlfriend for almost 7 years.(The other three of them burst into laughter.)It is kind of pitiful, isn’t it? (laughs)
--ehm... I’ve looked your photoshot for a Italian magazine VOUGE, it’s really beautiful. Do music and fashion always mutually promotive for you?
Bill: Yes, of cause, so far it always been like this. I really like to challenge to fashion, so does music. I like to put music and fashion together. When we were on the Europe tour, Dan and Dean from Dsquared (they are also twin brothers , please refer to www.dsquared2.com/index.asp?tskay=0DB7BAF4) designed gorgeous costumes for me. Fashion can also inspire me. When I compose or record, there is Particular situations, pictures or videos in my mind, then expand to both music and fashion impression. The photoshot for VOUGE is really wonderful. It may be one of my best photoshots until now. photoshot for VOUGE is always my dream. For me, Italian VOUGE is the best. It’s my honor to do photoshot for this magazine.
--Now your hair is cut shorter, and you look like more vigorous. when the next album is released, will you change your look completely?
Bill: How will be I look like… at least this look makes me feel very natural in the studio. When we made last album, we went to Los Angels, Miami, and were also in the German studio. Cooperating with different producers in different countries can more or less bring us some inspiration. Of cause it affect my image, our songs and the atmosphere of our album. There is Science fiction atmosphere in the last album, so the style of my stage costumes Closes to that direction. It’s expected how will be I look like next time. However, I don’t like to make a plan beforehand, just want to develop in a natural way. So let’s see. Considering this, into the studio is still very worth the wait.

Please say “Hello” to our Japanese fans

--Is there a possibility that you will not dress up like now but dress down in the future?
Bill: Ahh. Actually, I needn’t make up and wear such weird clotheses. Just follow your own feeling. I dressed up like that way because I wanted to be that. I hate hypocrisy. Wearing different clotheses, with makeup on, a cool hairstyle, however if he/she just imitate others, it looks affected. No matter how, I only follow something deep inside, ever when I was at school. I grow up like this. So whenever, I am very natural. When I think “I don’t want make up like this”, then I don’t do makeup. you should do what you really want to do, therefore you should take full confidence in yourself. So actually I don’t know how will I look like in the next album.
--what kind of music do you listen recently?
Bill: when Tokio Hotel is on the tour, I don’t listen any other music. It doesn’t mean as a musician, I just want to focus on my own music. I like many kinds of music, as well as german band, for example, Bonaparte is a very cool band. I also like 80s’ music. I’m a fan of Depeche and David Bowie. Besides, I like Aerosmith too. I really like many different kinds of music and musicians.
--Thank you very much.
Bill: Thanks. Please say “Hello” to our Japanese fans.

По поводу отмены шоу в Монтерей (Мексика)

[Ichbinda]

Концерт отменен в связи с опасной ситуацией в городе. В войне между двумя наркобандами в этом году уже были убиты сотни людей.

Группа Tokio Hotel - не первая группа, которая отменяет запланированные концерты в Монтеррее. Из-за напряженной и небезопасной ситуации американское трио Jonas Brothers несколько месяцев назад поступили так же.

По данным мексиканской прессы было продано большая часть из 17 600 билетов. Планируемый концерт на 2 декабря в столице Мехико состоится.

13/20 nº56/2010 [Мексика]: Шоу будет потрясающим

[Ichbinda]

The German band will be performing for the first time in South America, arriving in Chile on the 28th of November with their Humanoid City Live Tour 2010. And on the eve of their long-awaited visit, the band talked about their show and about the lives as Tokio Hotel.



The day for their first visit to South America gets closer every day. The band will have 5 shows on this side of the world: Tuesday November 23rd in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Thursday November 25th in Lima, Peru. Sunday November 28th in Santiago, Chile. Tuesday November 30th in Monterrey, Mexico; and Thursday December 2nd in Mexico City, Mexico.

Bill Kaulitz, Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schafer will present their show in our country, specifically, at 9PM in Movistar Arena Santiago, where they will come with their Humanoid City Live Tour 2010, tour where they have introduced their third studio album, “Humanoid,” and which has also taken them almost all over Europe.

The success they have found on this part of the planet has motivated them to visit with this show where they have set up a true futuristic city. In fact, they have travelled across Europe, with a team of 50 people and 11 trucks that transports and installs a gigantic stage, that also includes pyrotechnics, special effects, a visual show full of avant-garde and high-tech elements; . . . and an amazing design. All this, so the boys of Tokio Hotel can shine even more in front of their fans.

However, because of the distance between the countries the band will be visiting, they won’t be able to bring the same stage and infrastructure that comes with the show. But the band has assured that the rest will be exactly the same (the outfits, lightning, pyro and special effects).

This is how the band prepares to visit South America, and if time allows it, they hope to see more of every city where they will land directly from Los Angeles, USA, city where they have lived for a couple of weeks already with the purpose of focusing on new material.

Tokio Hotel spoke with our magazine, and talked about their life beyond the lights and the stage.

Fans in South America are anxious because of your visit. What have you been doing lately?

BILL: We have been spending time in the studio, rehearsing to get everything ready. We are actually working to deliver the best in our shows. We don’t want to just give them a good show, we want to give our everything and surprise them.

TOM: Often people ask us why we take so long to prepare our shows, and of course, this is a compliment; but it really does take a long time and energy to prepare a good show.

BILL: There’s a lot of movement on stage and, above all, the show will be spectacular, so we’re hoping to satisfy our fans.

You have lived through a lot as a band, do you still get nervous when you go on stage?

BILL: Yes, we get nervous because of many things, like for example on this tour, we don’t know what’s going to happen and if they still like our music. You can compare it to how you feel when you go back to school after summer vacations.

Do you feel that you have become a better band in the last few years?

GUSTAV: Absolutely, we feel that we all play better, because we play many live shows and also our tours have helped us a lot. Definitely, we have learned a lot from the shows.

GEORG: And even though we never took much music lessons, you can see for yourselves, I mean, listening to our first and our last album, which one sounds better.

BILL: And well, we have many critics . . . they say we can’t speak English or that our English level is too low . . . and we don’t really care. I mean, we are not only musicians and composers; we are four normal boys who love making music. This is what we have come to over the years with a bit of music lessons . . . and on our own.

Do you feel that this is YOUR year?

GUSTAV: Yes, it’s ours.

TOM: And we are giving our best to finish it successfully.

BILL: It’s not a matter of going up or down in popularity, because we expect to continue with Tokio Hotel for a long time, but this is an important year. We see it as a live year, to finish it we are going to South America. . . And we are hoping that this is an unforgettable experience.

Have you also become great friends?

BILL: No, we have always been great friends.

TOM: You have to be good friends when you’re in a band; we spend so much time together so it couldn’t be any other way. We are friends since the beginning as a school band, that means, from the start to the great concerts that we have done, and we have always been together.

You have also played in the United States. How do you feel about succeeding there as well?

BILL: That tour was very good, but travelling around Europe makes us feel at home. Don’t misinterpret me, we are happy when we get on a plane to travel someplace else, but when we arrive home is a very good sensation as well.

And when are you planning on taking a vacation?

BILL: We will finally be able to do it for Christmas, after spending those days with our families.
