My fascination with TOKIO HOTEL ... back to 2005!

I get many questions of all you lovely fellow Tokio Hotel fans about how I ever became a fan. So here's in short the story how I stumbled across the band!


I was born in Hamburg and moved to the Netherlands when I was 4 or 5. My mom's from Germany and therefore I still have some family there. In the summer of 2005 I visited my German family and one of my nieces just kept on playing this catchy German song over and over again. It turned out to be Tokio Hotel's hitsong Durch den Monsun ... 



Save to say that that moment meant instant love with the typical Tokio Hotel sound. I decided to keep on following these four young boys. Together with tens of thousands other Tokio Hotel fans I saw them conquering Europe within just a few months & winning award after award. They became huge!

After the Schrei and the Zimmer 483 album it was clear to every fan that they wanted more. Durch den Monsun was translated into English and Monsoon was released in the beginning of 2007 ...



Another huge step for the band and it made a US tour possible for the guys. Through Tokio Hotel TV we were all able to see how Tokio Hotel evolved as individual persons within the band and as a band in whole.

The release of the music video of Monsoon was a turning point for me personally. I suddenly saw that Tokio Hotel weren't just cute young boys anymore, but like over night were becoming mature young men. The year 2007 was also the year that my fascination with one Tokio Hotel members in particular evolved, but that's a whole other story ...
