Tokio Hotel - From Magdeburg to MTV International. The boys around Bill Kaulitz were just crowned as best youth group at Music Video Awards.
Bill: ‘We are damn nervous! I mean, that’s VMA’s. We are a german band and we never thought we ever would stand on this carpet in front of this wall!’
Transsexual man: ‘Of course my favourite teenie band is transsexual revue Tokio Hotel, I just think they are absolutely wicked. Bill’s fantastic. She looks a bit like a gay porcupine, but they are doing a good job. And they are world-famous! They are transporting our music out into the entire world. That’s wicked, isn’t it?’
The twin brothers Bill and Tom from Magdeburg are only nineteen years old, but they started practising short time after the turn of the millennium. As Bill was thirteen he compete for the casting show “Star Search”. There he already attracted attention more for his look.
Bill: ‘I didn’t like all of my t-shirts so I simply cutted them and finally they looked nice!’
It’s not because of their jeans. Their breakdown was celebrated 2005 with their first hit “Durch den Monsun” (Monsoon).
Tom: ‘Then there was our first tour and all of a sudden you’ve got a crew, which cares for all things. You’ve god a light man, a mixer, you’ve got backliner and fifty other guys, who are doing anything for you and loads of guitars and i think it’s such a wicked experience for a band, especially on their first tour.’
One year later Bill got new, longer hair and his fans are thrilled.
Woman: ‘The secret of Tokio Hotel is Bill, that’s clear. Without Bill there would be not only no band, there would even be no success. His success is, that he’s absolutely unique, he’s something speacial.’
2008 is the year of Tokio Hotel. Fans are screaming. Intercontinental from France to America.
Collien Fernandéz: ‘I think, they won’t be present here in our pretty country for the next time, but they sniffed international air. Now they are something better. I would be very surprised when they played at some village celebrations again.’
Man: ‘We will see that the success of all teenie bands will be there for a long time when the music is good, when they can do something. Tokio Hotel can do something. They are always getting better. They are already really good stage hogs, who know how to act with publicity.’

Bill: Neon... colors.
Tom: ...wigs. And neon colors.
Ge: And these huge fur boots.
*all simultaneously *
Bill: I think, neon colors...
Tom: Yes, these cow boots and, like...
Gu: Boots, mini-skirt and *points*
Bill: NeoncolorsIfindreallyterrible, by the way, I just saw: Neon colors are becoming a trend again now.
Tom: True.
Bill: I saw that yesterday or the day before...
Ge: But who, pray, did set that trend??
Bill: Who did set that trend! I think it's terrible. Neon colors are absolutely disgusting, like, neon boots and such, I find totally... no.
While Berlin Hip Hop is representing toughness, 2002/2004 a new, much more sensitive music trend comes forth: Wir Sind Helden, Silbermond and Juli bring Pop-Rock back to the charts with strong-charactered front-women, self-written songs and German texts.
*playing "Die perfekte Welle" (Juli) *
Bill: Nice, that somebody started that again, and that a band really again had success with that, with German texts - like, e.g. Wir Sind Helden.
And we continue in German. In summer 2005, four students from Magdebourg catapult themselves to the top of the charts and into the daydreams of thousands of girls. Tokio Hotel causes a mass-hysteria like no other German boy-combo ever before.
Klaas (Viva moderator): First of all: TH are deservedly successful; and because the texts they sing speak to the heart of many young girls.
*weird puppet1*: You sell more records when you're beautiful, ya know. That's how the game works.
*weird puppet2*: Yeah. We understand that.
*weird puppet1*: We understand it, man.
Gülcan (Viva moderator): Actually, the first thing I noticed about the band was the hair, but then, in the next second, I thought: Wow, he's only 16, and has such a voice?! That's what I noticed right afterwards... this voice, his manner, the moves ... somehow elvish.
Sido(?) (German rapper): TH are successful because they masquerade, and, you know, in Germany, people who masquerade have most success... Have I told you that theory before?
[He's a bit joking here: He himself is the guy with the mask you see for a short moment. I guess that's a bit more "masquerade" than Bill's make-up.]
And TH start a new trend in Pop music: teen stars.
Bill: Before us, it hadn't happened for a long time that a young band made music; that had been together for six years already...
Tom: ...and is so young.
Bill: ...and are so young. That was pretty new.
Bill: Neon... colors.
Tom: ...wigs. And neon colors.
Ge: And these huge fur boots.
