Please be sure to visit their blog and thank you to them for the translation and scans.
The main topic this month is: To Be Famous as young as you can. And the article introduce some person, who was already very famous when they were very young. For example: Stevie Wonder, Judy Garland, Frankie Lymon, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, M2M, Jonas Brothers…And also, Tokio Hotel include!!!!
Tokio Hotel
Year of rising to fame: 2005
Age of rising to fame: 16
Representative Work:<
They have won 7 Awards in 2005, 8 Awards in 2006, 11 Awards in 2007, and 14 Awards in 2008. It’s just pass the half of the year, they won the Best Online Star of the German Comet Awards. That’s the amazing charm this German Rock band, Tokio Hotel, shows.
There are four person in this band. The frontman is Bill Kaulitz, the Guitarist is Tom Kaulitz(They are twins), the Drummer is Gustav Schafer and the Bassist is Georg Listing. In 2001 the band built up in Magdburg, and at that time the name of the band was Devilish. They had some small shows in Magdburg, but maybe because they were so young that there were little people noticed them. The frontman Bill Kaulitz has taken part in a TV competition show, but he failed in the semi-finals, but this was also the begin of success. Record producer Peter Hoffmann found that Bill was potential. The name of the Band changed into Tokio Hotel. Tokio means Tokyo in German. They used this word because they thought, that the city Tokyo was very cool, and they always sleep in hotels, so they had this name. And Peter Hoffman recommended them to Sony Company. David Jost and Pat Benzner took part in this band, as lyrics and song writer, and they taught the young people how to play the Instruments. In September, 2005 they have publicated their first album <

I thought that Tokio Hotel wrote more of their own songs… *is about to go to bed disappointed* That sucks. I thought Bill was my skinny assed black eyed poet from heaven who was going to save me from my boring drab life.
Damn I am such a dramatic. poo on me for being a downer.

This is funny to me. I just came back from China. And you know the H&M shirts Tokio Hotel had? I wanted to buy a shirt and…they were SOD+LD OUT! Gone, just gone. I was happy and sad, but it was kewl. But the cost was crazy high! 150 yen for their shirt. I bothered my friend how came back from college so much, she decided to look them up. X)

okay now, i love that even CHINS likes Tokio Hotel but some of the info they got was BULL!!! Cuz David Jost and Pat Benzner did NOT teach the boys how to play their instruments. Tom said his step dad taught him and Gustav says hes been playin since he was 4 and georg says he started when he was 13

they didn’t just write one. there were only two on the CD that they didn’t write or co-write and those were schrei and rette mich. that’s according to the little booklet in the CD case and i trust that little booklet.

That’s really great! I’m so proud of them *tear*. =D Although, I have to disagree with that whole thing about Bill “failing” and not winning Star Search. I don’t think he failed. I KNOW he didn’t fail. He was the real winner.
