Section 1: The basics
1. Which was the first song you ever heard of them?
I actually don't know (the is going to be explained in the next answer, lol)
2. When and how did you find out about the band?
It was fall 2005. In Slovenia we used to have this teen magazine (which I loved, I'm so sad they stopped printing it) that had a section in it with text messages. People from the whole country could send a text there and the text would be printed in the next issue of the magazine (ALL of the texts, except those that were offensive, of course). And the text section was split between friends, love, school, celebrities, music, etc. The music section was full of texts declaring holy love to Tokio Hotel. I had no clue what it was about but I was just happy that people in Slovenia were apparently liking a japanese band, a few weeks later from one of those texts I realized the band was actually German. Sometime around October/November a friend of mine came back home from Germany, he went there for a school exchange and one day he contacted me via msn, asking if I knew any rock band from Germany because one of the German girls made him listen to her iPod and she had some music he liked. I had no clue, but I told him that I knew Tokio Hotel were big in Germany in that period. And since he didn't have any download program, I offered to download him some of them songs. I know some of them were Durch den monsun, Der Letzte tag and Schrei, but I'm not sure I listened to those. A few weeks later, MTV aired Durch den Monsun and... well, that had been a shock. I compared Bill with a panda and Tom with a monkey, and I'm happy I did it since Bill still likes his eyes to be circled in black while Tom still loves bananas.
3. Who is your favorite member and why?
I don't know how to answer this one. Apparently in the first weeks, I was a Tom's fan. But I can't remember being it, although a friend of mine showed me a msn conversation where I claimed she'd get in trouble with me if she'd choose Tom as her favorite xDDDD Then I had my 2 months period where I obsessed over Bill. Two days ago I texted schmetterling85 telling her Georg was my favorite but later that night, during their performance at Muz TV, I was all "Georg who?". And Gustav is sooo cute when he smiles T_T I can't choose my favorite member, that's why I always say it's Benjamin (since I always liked blondes, tall and rich boys xDDDD)
4. Who is your least favorite member and why?
Martin? Does he count?
5. Favorite album?
I'm gonna say Zimmer483 although I'm not a big fan of some of the songs on, and I usually skip it, but it has some of my favorite ones. On the other hand, I can listen to the whole Humanoid album, without skipping a song, but it doesn't have that many favorites of mine.
6. Least favorite album?
Schrei so laud du kannst, I guess.
7. Favorite tracks from each album?
SSLDK: Der letzte Tag, Zimmer 483: Wo sind eure hände/Reden, Humanoid: HUMANOID ALWAYS AND EVER OMG *_________*
8. Tracks you rarely listen or you like the least from each album?
SSLDK: Schrei (less favorite song of them in general), Zimmer483: Stich ins glück, Humanoid: Menschen suchen menschen
9. What's more important to you, their looks or their music?
Music.
10. What's the first word that comes in mind when you think of 'Tokio Hotel'?
Hamsters.
Section 2: Personal
1. What was the ultimate factor that made you a fan? Was there some specific crucial thing that locked your love towards TH?
I was done with math in my life?XD Seriously, when I became a fan, it was at the beginning of 2007 and in that period I was studying to re-do my math exam. So for those months the only thing I did was studying math and fangirling over TH, reading fics and watching videos. And during those months, I just couldn't come up to say it loud I was a Tokio Hotel fan. The moment I left the school after doing my exam, I was just so damn happy with that (even if I didn't had my results yet) I went to this stand with random things for tourists, souvenirs and stuff. And there they had a bowl with random badges, and I said "Why not? Let's give it a try." and... I found a Tokio Hotel badge in it, and I bought it. And then I put it on my bag and went home. (then I took the badge down because... it's the first piece of merch of them I bought and since I really like it - it's orange/black - I don't want to lose it, carrying it around with me on a bag.
2. For as long as you've been a fan, what's your favorite memory of the band?
Ema 2007! I remember being home and watching the awards and in the same time being on a chat (I think it was the Schreibox on THF? I think undrockroll was there as well) and telling them what was happening because there was no livestream back then. And when their nominee was announced, I said "and the winner is..." and then they were called as their winners and I wrote Tokio Hotel, but I didn't manage to press 'enter' properly before starting jumping around the room, clapping and listening to Bill's speech, so the poor girls were still waiting for the results xD Also, it's impossible to forget to jaw-drop moment during their performance. Yep, definitely Ema 2007.
3. Have there been times that you were disappointed by something the band did? If so, what was it?
Tom's PR stunt with Chantelle Paige.
4. Do you think Tokio Hotel would be the same without Gustav or Georg?
Nope, no band could be the same with different members.
5. What's the thing you love the most in the whole package of being a Tokio Hotel fan?
Livestreams (but not 5 hours long, god damn it!) and the fact that we're all so crazy that we can pull out something amazing out of the most WTF thing. I mean, we were on twitter, discussing something about drawing with poo (LOL), which lead us to "it's illegal being *insert random thing* at the Maldives which lead to an awesome meme post on th_apex. Come on, this can't happen in any fandom xD
6. Was there any time that you seriously considered to stop listening and supporting them? What made you change your mind?
I can leave the fandom, but I won't stop listening to them/keeping an eye of them. I mean, I still listen and keep an eye on what Spice Girls are doing after 13 years!!
7. If you have seen them live, what is your favorite/most vivid memory of that day/days?
THE VAN SCENE IN PADOVA. Which I narrated so many times that everyone knows it, hence I'm not repeating it again. But it was awesome. I still laugh over it.
8. What's the most crazy/weird thing you've ever done for Tokio Hotel? Something you would never consider doing under normal circumstances?
Skipping an exam to go to a TH fan meeting? Going through a monsoon every single time they release something? (the weather hates me, clearly, I got drenched by a downpour in THE MIDDLE OF JULY when I went to buy the WTHCtour dvd-_-)
9. Have you met people that became very important to you through Tokio Hotel?
Yep :D
10. Do you think that show business has "changed" Tokio Hotel and that's why they have somehow distanced themselves?
I don't know if anyone could answer this question, boys included. I mean, they got in the business when they were between 15 and 18, everyone changes in those years. No one can say how would they change and how would they be nowadays if they wouldn't become famous. And let's face it, there are people in this world who changed waaaay more (in worse) even without getting all the fame TH got.
Section 3: Fangirl-ish
1. What is your most favorite picture of the band? The one that always comes in mind whenever you think of them?
Umm, it's a mix between them laughing together on a couch and them hugging each other after getting their first EMA and/or VMA.
2. What's your favorite thing about your favorite member?
That he is a hot manager?XD
3. What is your most favorite picture of your favorite member?
The one I have in the icon :P This one
4. Out of aaaall their interviews, is there a specific one that you like the most?
Call me crazy but I love their interviews with Gülcan. And the radio one with JoJo :D
5. When you're somewhere outside, or you're randomly watching something and suddenly a Tokio Hotel song comes on, what's your reaction? Are you brushing it off or does it put a smile on your face?
I grin xD Although once I was in Padova in the living room, and my flatmate was eating his lunch and watching the sport news, and during a report, they used Schrei in the background, I jumped up with this face O_O
6. Are there any completely random activities/objects that you have somehow linked to Tokio Hotel, thus they make you laugh or brighten your day?
I have two pair of stuffed animals, named Bill and Tom (one is a pair with a tiger and a white tiger, I bought them, the other two are two squirrels I received as a gift - and they were already named Bill and Tom xD)
7. Confession time: Did you, or did you not think Bill was a girl when you first saw Tokio Hotel?
NO! Because it was the DDM video, I had more problems accepting Bill and Tom were identical twins xD
8. Do you have dozens of posters/TH related stuff in your room/house, or are you more of a casual fan?
Haha, actually yes because I'd buy lots of Bravos. Ironically, once I managed to give away most of the biggest posters I got in a magazine, and last summer when I was one of the winners in the Scavenger Hunt, with the cd I received the SAME poster special xD
9. Out of everything related to the band, what is the one thing that you love the most and why?
After 4 years, they still make me smile in their interviews :P
10. Last but not least, if you could turn back time, is there anything you'd change to the way things turned out in your fandom-related life?
I wouldn't get involved in a part of it.
