Interview with Tokio Hotel - Part 6

You four started your band activities since the age of 14, and now there were changes that you mixed something electronic in some parts of the new album, but also something that you kept all the time. So, what's the chief part and the most binding part of your band? Tom: Basically, it is consisting of the drum, the bass guitar and the guitar. The guitar with the addition of Bill's voice that have never been changed. Bill's voice wasn't sounded like before anymore, though, his feeling of singing never change. You can see our changes from Devilish to Humanoid.

So, what kind of music that you drumer and bassist think that is similar to TOKIO HOTEL's.
Gustav: The rhythm of drum and bass. (laughed)
Georg: It's hard to answer. Because we are who TOKIO HOTEL are.
Tom: (nipped in) I think we were very lucky. When creating music in the studio, we wrote down the feeling in our brain, but not meditated it first and did. I tkink it's lucky that we did such a thing, that we created awesome music. Without luckiness like this, we can't work out any good music at all.
Bill: (seriously) However, not all the audiences would love our music. The most important of all it's that "we love our music". Because that were created by us, they were our own music. We worked the songs for ourselves but not the fans. And it's lucky that they can be loved by our fans. Fans love our songs and they want to share them with the others, but sometimes I didn't want this to happen. (Another meanings: Bill wants we to buy their albums.) Say so, though, in order to work out songs to the fans' taste, not only will we keep our music concept, but also attach importance to what we like.

Awesome!!! You have such a firm concept in your heart. TOKIO HOTEL is so popular around the world now, so who you will cooperate with in the future.
Bill: I dreamed of cooperating with Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith. I don't know what will happen in the future, but hope that I can meet many people and cooperate with them. A secret plan will be pulled off lately, but yet I can't say a word about it.

And which producer you want cooperate with.
Bill: Like I have just said, I have to meet him firstly to make sure if we have ideas that in common. You may thought that this man is cool, I want to cooperate with him, but sometimes your thought would be overturned when you meet each other. The most importance is that you two have iders in common.

We have received questions from the fans, for emample, the single "Don't Jump" released in Japan, too. There are many fans like this song, will this song on the list of the shows that you will give in Japan later?
Bill: Really? (happily) Of course. Because...
Tom: (nipped in) Actually, I love this song very much!!!
Bill: (nipped in) As we have so much good songs, it's hard to choose songs each time.
Tom: (nipped in again) Since there are so much good songs, it's not enough to give a concert in 2 hours. (the two of them ran comments and laughed in concert)
Bill: (became loudly) We also remixed those former songs and performed on the concerts.

It's odd that Bill wanted to talk calmly and clearly in the first place, but became funny suddenly. And his twin brother, Tom, is a funny guy, too.
We will keep on interviewing, and the next one will be the last one.
