In the note to the German public said Tokio Hotel has german tax money?, Are paid by the government!

Later in the note says, 2 black Mercedes S500 limousine driving slowly behind the other in the car park at the back of a club. Keep up with the engine running, German and Japanese men in dark suits are pending now. The entourage of stars. The four young musicians, Georg and Gustav on the front of the car, Bill and Tom in the rear. Tokio Hotel. Fans call them by name. Bill nods and says. "Hello."

The music of these guys may be the most beautiful state funding in Germany.

Citing a case last December, adolescents Tokio Hotel played for the first time in Tokyo, the city that gave them their name. Before that they had been in South American with great tour, after more than six million records sold, the group has followers all over the world, these and many other reasons are the cause of which is considered one of the most successful bands business in Europe. But from the perspective of the federal government apparently Tokio Hotel is part of a cultural institution that must be supported by taxpayers. As part of a "direct financing of projects in the Foreign Office of Germany" which is in Tokyo in December a case involving € 25,738. Reason: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs promotes "art projects" in some cases directly, speaking of foreign policy considerations and the volume of projects for them."

With the same reasoning with which it competes Tokio Hotel, are on the road and still paid very different prices. From concerts by Toten Hosen, for example, nearly 22 million albums sold to date has also been quite good, but the shows were last year, also financed by the state.

So the note was given and now the question asked by some is how much money is the German government "External Relations" to the music of Tokio Hotel?

However, we can say that Tokio Hotel is one of the best German exports.
