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.’
