I saw there were already a couple of threads for (my favorite band) AFI, but didn't find any for Tokio Hotel. Having read that at least a couple of people on here are fans of Tokio Hotel, I thought I should make a thread. ^-^
I guess, first off, I have some basic questions! (In accordance to Menewsha rules, when responding to the questions, please put the questions in the quote tags. [*quote*]text[*/quote*] Without the *s)
1. How did you become a fan?
2. What's your favorite song(s)?
3. What's your favorite album?
4. What do you think of Tokio Hotel's "new" sound in
Humanoid?
5. Have you ever seen or do you plan to see them in concert?
^-^;; Sorry they aren't more creative. I was trying to think of some unusual questions, but nothing came up.
Well, here I go!

Well, I first heard about them in 2007 as a high school junior. I thought they were a J-Pop band, though, and having never been a fan of Japanese music, I just kind of ignored them. In 2008, I found out they were German, but I kind of forgot about them anyway. It didn't really matter to me. Then in mid-2009, I met some people online who were really into Tokio Hotel. Annoyed, I went onto YouTube and listened to "An Deiner Seite (Ich Bin Da)," then listened to "Spring Nicht" and "Don't Jump." I kind of thought the band was okay, but I didn't think they were OMG good. But after having "Spring Nicht" and "Don't Jump" stuck in my head at the exact same time for two days, I went and purchased
Scream. It was love. xD

"Wir Schliessen Uns Ein." I found it via YouTube and have loved it since the first listen. It's this really calm song, but there is such an edge to it.

I haven't stopped listening to
Zimmer 483 Since I got it in January. I have a passion for each album I possess, though, so I don't think I can choose. (I will some day own you,
Schrei! *waves fist in air*)

I really like it. I think it shows a lot of growth. I know a lot of fans who were disappointed with it, and to be honest, it wasn't as spectacular as I had imagined (I, for whatever reason, thought it was going to be
American Idiot-epic.), but it's different. I think it's more personal and mature than the past albums. That's not to say they weren't great, but I just really like the change.

I have never seen them before, but a friend and I are saving change in a jar in order to go. xD Currently, we have over $200, with another generous donation being made by my mother at some point this year. Otherwise, all of the money came from change from purchases we've made or change we just found. We're going to hopefully go to LA to meet some other Tokio Hotel fans. It's going to be a blast!
