[Pro-TokioHotel]

Visão Júnior (Португалия) - nº70/2010

Tokio Hotel in Portugal
The four friends who created a band
could never imagine that, one day, they would be famous through all
planet


At the age of 13, the twins Bill and Tom Kualotz already recorded the
album of their career. But only three years after, in 2005, they created
Tokio Hotel. The name of the band it's a tribute to the favourite city
of the band, capital of Japan, Tokyo. Since the release of their first
album in English - Scream, in
2007 - the band never stopped.

Because they are always travelling, the band members have afar school.
Just with their tour last year they went to more than 12 countries,
Portugal included.

After this tour, when they were back home, Tokio Hotrl went on studio to
record their new album in two versions, onde inEnglish and the other in
German, the mother-language of the band members. Humanoid was released
in the end of the last year and their song Automatic is already playing in every single radio,

The band plays Rock and Pop, a lot of times, their music style is called
«emo», a style where the song lyrics are very emotional because they
talk about deep feeling, such as love. The lead singer, Bill Kualotz,
writes a lot of songs and confesses that the biggest philosophy of the
band is to encourage their fans to fight for their dreams. After all,
Tokio Hotel also fought for theirs, and they could make it!

The answers to Júnior Readers

Tokio Hotel answered to seven
questions left on the website by the readers.

What do you think about Portugal? Will
you stay here some days after the concert? Patrícia, 14 years, Beja

Tom: We participated in our first MTV EMA (Europe Music Awards) in
Lisbon, and that's what connect us to Portugal! In those times, we were
completely unknown in Portugal and we had the chance to explore Lisbon
as real tourists. It's an amazing city! We enjoyed to be there and we
would love to stay some more days this time but, unfortunately, we will
have to leave to go to another concert.

You are always on tour. Beside the
concerts and interviews, do you have time to explore the places you
visit? Inês Vaz, 13 years,
Bragança

Bill: Sometimes our schedule is
so hard that we almost don't have time to leave the hotel. But we always
try to leave at least to lunch and dinner. Sometimes, we dress each
other and we leave the hotel incognito. In the next interview I can
reveal what Tom will dress...

Your last album is about sci-fi and
your feelings. How do you imagine the world in ten years from now and
your life in this world? Alexandra,
13 years, Aveiro

Tom: I can imagine Georg finally
having decent bass lessons! And Bill will keep trying to convince me to
wear tight jeans!

Gustav: I clearly see Tom
spending all his money on alimony (for his ex-wifes)!

What's the music you hear now (from Tokio Hotel or from another band)?
Bia Sousa

Bill: Because qe are in the middle of the rehearsals to the tour, we
spend most of the day listening to our own songs. As soon as we leave
the studio, we listen to differents kinds of bands and music styles.

Your tour is called Welcome to Humanoid
City Tour (in Portuguese: Bem-vindos à Cidade Humanóide). If you were
owners of a city, how would it be? What would make it special? Ana Nascimento, 18 years, Barreiro

Tom: There is not need too much
stuff to make us Froh. The most important it's the location. It would
have to be a place where the weather was warm a lot of times, such as
Lisbon.

Which are the common things of your
life that you miss the most? Márcia
Bernardo, 17 years, Porto

Bill: Shop in supermarkets. It
might be strange, but I miss to walk around there and choose among all
those fruits and candies!

What's the best thing a fan can told
you? Inês Trabucho

Bill: Something about their
private life - that means a lot to me. That's why I love meet with the
fans and signing sessions. We have the opportunity to see the personal
vision of what makes our fans' world move.

How are the green-rooms? Who is the
funniest? Who's the calmest one? Who's the most stubborn? Adriana Martins, 15 years, Oleiros

Georg: Oh!, Gustav can be the
most stubborn!

Gustav: And Georg is the most
grumpy morning. This means he is always pissed off and in a bad mood
when he gets up in the morning.

Bill: Tom does the best
sandwiches, it might be the only thing he does the best.

Tom: Bill is the best eating
sandwiches and that's the only thing he does, probably, the best. We all
have fun together on the green-room. Each one of us has his own little
manias, but after all this year together, we learned to accept and live
with this.
