newsland.ru : Commercial music group sponsored by Germany

Germany spends a lot of money to sponsor a national music. And not all of them passed with the same degree of responsibility. The newspaper Die Welt said that in the last year, the State, through its Ministry of Culture has allocated about 68 000 euros for the concerts of the rock band Die Toten Hosen and a very popular pop group Tokio Hotel.

The first payment of the cost of holding three concerts given in the countries of Central Asia, and also had a serious diplomatic support in your organization. The second $ 25 000, part of the lashes that cost a concert in Tokyo.

In this sense, the German tabloid newspaper expressed surprise at the fact that public money is spent in support of business groups - in this case, it seems that in the ministry, there are no criteria for selecting recipients of federal funds.

loomee-tv.de : TH on the road continues as a designer?

Tokio Hotel or Bill Kaulitz and his brother Tom still seem to be moving as designers. All fans of the band know that Tom Kaulitz and his twin brother had created a shirt for Organistation "Designers Against AIDS." To the frustration of the fans, this was sold out very quickly. According to rumors on the Web, now there will be a second edition. "Hard Rock F*** safe" was the theme of the shirt! This shirt was in the first edition of 2009.

A new edition at a time when all fans are looking forward to news of Tokio Hotel would guarantee good sales. Rumors that Tokio Hotel will design a new shirt, meanwhile, has not yet been confirmed. It would be surprising, because those guys are supposedly working on preparations for the new album.

We all want to know if there will be a new shirt, and if, in fact, the new album of Tokio Hotel can reinvent without losing the old fans!

spickmich.de : Tokio Hotel takes tax money

Is the band now broke, or why Bill & Co. suddenly need help from the state?

Germany was not enough

In Germany, musicians from Magdeburg have been pretty quiet (or just nobody talked much about them), and wanted to start something else in abroad. In France and have built a solid fan base, even won yet on the other side of the ocean in Los Angeles and now seem to conquer Asia. In France they have built a solid fan base, they also got fans on the other side of the ocean in Los Angeles and now they seem to conquer Asia.

Tokio Hotel in Tokyo

A place where they performed last year in December, was a dream for them since the beggining of their career in 2005. They were allowed to be in Tokyo, the city, which gave a name to their band, and see: even in the Japanese metropolis, they were greeted by screaming fans.

German taxes financed the trip:

But even if German fans barely seen guys in their country - as a source of money for the Tokyo-dream of the four boys, they're still good enough:
Every year the state spends huge sums of money to promote music. In 2010, there were more than 44 million €, of which Tokio Hotel pocketed € 25,738 and financing of the concert in Japan.

"When it comes to foreign policy considerations point to suggest the scope of projects," said the Foreign Ministry which is responsible for several thousand dollars to promote the band.

Music promotion is certainly useful, but is it really necessary for a band who has the worldwide success and has sold more than six million CDs to support that amount?

StarSearch : Billy the Kid

Name: Bill [from] Loitsche near Magdeburg
Age: 13

Pretty wild: 13-year-old grammar school student Bill wants to rock the "Star Search" audience with his tousled hairstyle, punk-ish outfit and eyebrow piercing. Bill, who has got a twin brother, started to make music when he was aged seven. Nowadays he's the singer of a four member strong band; his brother is playing the guitar. The brothers got infected with the rock virus by their step-father. Bill, who regards Nena and Robbie Williams as his idols, has been taking dancing lessons for two years. Bill already had a few gigs with his band - "but nothing major" as he says. He wants to study after his Abitur [A-Levels] and head for "something along the line of dancing, singing and fashion", true to his motto: "Live every second!"

esdetodo.com : Tokio Hotel has German tax money?

An article published by Welt.de mentions that a new study reveals that the benefits of musicians Tokio Hotel is tax money!

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." Then the entourage disappears at the entrance to the artists.

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.

One #72 (France)

New head for new album

September 12th, Bill Kaulitz made a public appearance very noticed in Hollywood, where he lives henceforth with his brother Tom. More glam than ever, the singer from Tokio Hotel revealed a brand new look : discolored blonde hair, small three-days beard... Bill was unrecognizable, we would have even said Jared Leto ! Hence our idea to compare the both singers, photos of support. Disturbing... But the fans have apparently well welcomed this extreme makeover which intervenes whereas the band prepares his return in the greatest secrecy. Currently in studio, the quatuor is working flat out on the fourth album, awaited for Spring 2012. In the meantime, Bill will have certainly opted once again for a look even more surprising !

Bill Vs. Jared: Battle of the copycats

Until now Style Battles were for the female gender - But it's time Bill Kaulitz and Jared have a battle of fashion.

It all started when Tokio Hotel frontman Bill (22) wanted to get rid of his dark emo-goth image. A look at the bad-boy style icon Jared Leto was enough, and Bill knew what to do: Bleach hair, Let sparse facial hair grow, wear leather jacket and Jeans. Jared model has been finally made.

As it should be for a real trendsetter, Jared couldn't be long like that - He's after all, unique! Finally Jared chose the style that Bill has just left.

Well, at least until the brown armpit hair which represented just about the only spot of color. If Bill Kaulitz probably switch to armpit hair? We wait in anticipation for the next round in the fashion battle!

Bill and Tom Kaulitz will be "The Robbers"

Bill and Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel will be the protagonists of the new film "The Robbers". The film's action is in Germany, in 2039, and attempts to apply the dark future of George Orwell's novel "1984."

Maximilian von Moor, the Commissioner and government officer, experienced the growing chaos and disorganization of society into his own family. While his beloved son, Karl (21) becomes an icon of resistance to the ruling class, his other son Franz begins to miss power. Karl, supported by his father, is taking a hard-line regime in the metro. His girlfriend, Amalia, is on his side, despite all the propaganda against the insurgents, and resists the advances of Franz.

Precisely to promote his rising acting career, Bill and his brother Tom Kaulitz spend more time in Los Angeles, where they were recently seen leaving the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, Lindsay Lohan and Demi Lovato's favourite restaurant. All that while the band's fans are anxiously awaiting their next album.

TH promoted by the German government

One of the most popular bands in recent times worldwide and of German origin is Tokio Hotels and thanks to Bill Kaulitz, Tom, Georg and Gustav, the German language has grown among young people attach great importance and language development I was standing.

That is why the German government has been working with the group some time in the economic and psychic. Such is the foothold they were named as ambassadors of the German language for quite some time ago.

And today came out some documents that verify this aid to the Tokio Hotel as is the case of his tour in December 2010, where he was awarded about 26,000 euros to finance their stay in the city of Tokyo. But the German government not only helps Bill Kaulitz and his people but provide help to those who collaborate in disseminating the German language and German culture.

According to the site esdetodo.com, it says: "The federal government has financed successful performances as a concert by Tokio Hotel and Die Toten Hosen as part of cultural promotion with tax money. This is clear from the response black-yellow coalition which produced an important question of the SPD parliamentary group, the "world" (Thursday edition) is available in advance. Accordingly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a contribution to "Tokio Hotel" on his trip to Tokyo in December 2010 funded with € 25,738. "

But Welt.de portal performs a comprehensive analysis about the amount of millions of euros that the German government uses taxes from each citizen to spread their language and culture through music and its stars.

A great contribution made by bands like Tokio Hotel are drawn to his style and as they carry their music around the world, bringing benefits to the country of a reciprocal manner.

Sold out concerts, hordes of screaming girls ... The arrival of Tokio Hotel never goes unnoticed. For their 2008 tour, the successful Germand pop rock band relied on the technical knowhow of WIcreations. This cooperation was literally skyrocketing.

DesignersAgainstAIDS.com : A book based on Tokio Hotel

Showbusiness & safe sex

French writer Caroline Sauvageot just finished her first novel about a pop group on tour. The novel is about the life of a rock band and the special relationship with their fans. Through the chapters, you travel from the luxe hotel room to the backstage of a show, or from waiting in the rain in front of the hotel to the craziness of the autograph session. More than a book about the show business, the autor wanted to sensibilize the readers about the importance of safe sex and wanted to mention the sexuality of the young in a very natural way, something we can't read often about in literature for young people.

Exclusive: Tokio Hotel’s Bill Kaulitz & Tom Kaulitz Clubbing In LA

Twin brothers Bill Kaulitz and Tom Kaulitz from the ten time platinum band Tokio Hotel have been hitting the nightlife in Los Angeles hard.

On Saturday they enjoyed an evening at Lindsay Lohan’s favorite haunt — Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.

Our photographer caught video of Tom in his signature dreadlocks dressed in a black jacket and white T-shirt being whisked away in a SUV. We’re told his brother Bill, who is the lead singer of German’s biggest band in 20 years, was in the back seat of the SUV, but you couldn’t see him because of the tinted windows.

Just a few weeks ago on September 12, the brothers hit the popular LA restaurant and hot spot Katsuya.

MTV OMA : What it takes to lead a Tokio Hotel Fan Army.

As you can see from the massive influx of votes in the Fan Army FTW category, the award meted out to these top music lovers is one of the most popular in the O Music Awards roster. That’s why we’re aiming to chat with the top dogs in each of these armies — folks that simultaneously amaze and terrify us with their ardent dedication.

Last O Music Awards, the Tokio Hotel Aliens soundly beat their competitors, scoring the coveted titled of Fan Army FTW. This time around, they’re back and they’re fighting hard for their beloved German pop band. We chatted with one of their top generals, 30-year-old Jacqueline from the Dominican Republic, about what it takes to head up a winning Fan Army.

When did you become a fan? Why?
I became a Tokio Hotel Fan in 2008 after discovering them on YouTube. I love learning languages so I was looking for some German language music on YouTube and found their music video ’1000 Meere’ and their performance of that song at 2008 NRJ Music Awards in France. Next day, I started listening to all their music, watching episodes of Tokio Hotel TV, their music videos, live performances, interviews, etc. I fell in love with their German music, personalities and of course Bill Kaulitz; he’s unique, I’m fascinated with him.

When did you decide to join and lead a fan army?
In 2008, there were several important Tokio Hotel votings (MTV VMA, MTV Latin America Awards, MTV EMA) and I was voting a lot for them. I really wanted them to win those awards so I wanted to support them more by also helping to spread the word of those votings. That’s when I started joining different Tokio Hotel forums around the world (USA, Germany, Italy, France, etc), mainly because I wanted to help in all the votings and constantly remind the fans to vote. Then, in 2009 I created the Twitter account (@BillKaulitzFans) because Twitter is the most effective way to make your voice heard and very useful and powerful tool to help spread the word (votings, news and all types of updates), it makes it quicker and easier, it’s currently the best tool for that.

What is the general uniform of your fan army? Any clothes you all wear? Concert Ts, etc?
There’s no uniform. Some fans wear sometimes Tokio Hotel T-shirts that can be bought at the Tokio Hotel Official Store.

How many hours a week do you listen to the music?
It depends, but these days probably two hours a week. But, of course, that will change when the new Tokio Hotel album is released. :)

Any hard and fast rules for members of your fan army?
There are no hard and fast rules.

How closely do you know the other members? Are you all friends?
The Tokio Hotel fandom is like a big family.

How did you manage to win Fan Army FTW last time around? Any strategies?
Practice makes perfect. Tokio Hotel Fans are veterans at voting. :)

This year, you guys started voting rather rapidly. How did you arrange that?
We didn’t start voting before you announced the site, but we did start voting immediately after we saw the @MTVOMA tweet about the nominations. The link to the voting page was in that post. :)

What’s your plan this time around?
Never reveal your strategies. ;)
