Tokio Hotel fans are really amazing when it comes to spotting the guys! It’s impressive to think that this picture of Bill in his awesome costume hanging out at the West Hollywood Carnival was discovered amongst over 300 other pictures uploaded to the Carnival album of the City of West Hollywood Flickr!

Bill looks fabulous, doesn’t he? Also looks like the feather vest he wore for the MTV EMAs in Liverpool in 2008 and check out what seem to be black wings. What do you think?

Update 10th November: A new picture has surfaced showing Bill in the crowd. He really sticks out and it’s fantastic to see his full make-up like that. Thanks to john00879
for sharing!

Update 27th November: Another picture of Bill (and Shiro Gutzie) in his awesome Halloween costume. They posed for a pic with “Haute and Rebellious” and her friend and she posted it to her blog.

As mentioned before German channel RTL dedicated its most recent episode of “100%…” to German designer Karl Lagerfeld. Bill was also asked to give a few comments and you can watch a video of his scenes (recorded by ~Nik~ from the German forum and English subtitles thanks to the girls at THNews_ru) and read the translation posted underneath:

Transcript and translation:

[…] natürlich so der Designer für viele is’. Also, ich glaube, viele kennen gar nicht so… also, gerade so Leute die sich nicht so viel mit Mode beschäftigen und sich da nicht so auskennen, kennen, glaub’ ich, aber auf jeden Fall Karl Lagerfeld.
[…] who is certainly like THE designer for many people. Meaning, I believe many don’t really know… well, especially people who don’t take much interest in fashion and aren’t too knowledgeable about it, will definitely still know Karl Lagerfeld, I reckon.

Er hat schon, erm… so ’ne Vision. Also, er weiß schon ganz genau erm, wie er das haben will und was gut aussieht, engt einen aber überhaupt nicht ein. Also, ich hab’ ja wirklich schon mit vielen Leuten auch Fotos gemacht und erm, hatte selten so viel Spaß irgendwie beim Shooting wie mit Karl Lagerfeld.
He does have, erm… like a vision. Meaning, he does know exactly, erm, how he wants it to be and what looks good. However, in no way does he restrict you. Well, I’ve really done photos with many people already and erm, somehow I’ve rarely ever had as much fun at a shooting as [I’ve had] with Karl Lagerfeld.

Unfortunately there’s been a delay with the app and the launch date is now being rescheduled (no laughing!)
You can read all the details on Tom’s Blog. There does seem to be a temporary problem with the homepage right now, so for those of you who can’t view it at the moment, the reason given is that they want to release the Android version at the same time as the iPhone version (so we assume the original plan was to release the iPhone version first). Here’s a preview of what the app will look like …

The RTL programme ’100% Karl Lagerfeld’, due to be shown on November 25th at 11pm, will include comments from Bill. You can see him very briefly in the trailer at 0:12.

Who can forget the photoshoot of Bill by Karl Lagerfeld! But just in case you have, here it is again.

Aww, how adorable are these Japanese children performing their cover version of Tokio Hotel’s “Monsoon” on 6th November? It even sounds like the singer is yelling “Danke!” after the “Thank you so much!”^^

Earlier this week Bill and Tom mentioned in their MTV OMA thank you message that they’re working on the new album at the moment. Boulevard-Baden.de also picked up on a statement given to dapd by David Jost mentioning work on the new album.

Translation:
Berlin (dapd). Tokio Hotel are recording new songs. “We’re currently working on the new album in the studio”, producer and manager David Jost told press agency dapd on Wednesday. However, the band will continue to not be available for interviews in the upcoming months. By now Tokio Hotel have consistently kept out of the media’s public eye for more than eight months.

Though in June they interrupted that break for an appearance in Japan and took to the stage at the Japanese MTV Music Award Show.

Check out TOM’S BLOG to read what he had to say about his and Bill’s awesome Halloween costumes! The full costumes will be revealed when their new app is launched in the very near future. Excited? We certainly are!

Last night we won the “Fan Army FTW” MTV OMA for the second time this year and as a little reward for all your voting efforts, we posted another translation of an old 2006 Bravo article to our Press section. It seems to be a good time to post an article that talks about the beginnings of Tokio Hotel’s international career when fans all over the world came together and united their voting power for the past month. TH have come a long way thanks to all their Aliens around the world.

Classified! That’s how they want to conquer the world now!

Their secret plans

Echo! Comet! Gold Record awards! Currently Tokio Hotel are Germany‘s most successful band! Now Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg are close to their international breakthrough!

Go HERE for the article scans and translation.

After weeks of voting and Tokio Hotel fans dominating the “Super Fans” ranking on the MTV OMA website we did it again! For the second time this year Tokio Hotel’s “Aliens” won the MTV O Music Award for “Fan Army FTW”!

Bill and Tom started their video message with wearing masks to show some Halloween spirit. They thanked their fans and said how much their support means to them and that it gives them strength. Bill even threw the fans a kiss at the end. *aww*

Well done, Aliens and thank you all for voting so much and letting the guys know that we’re still behind them and missing them. This video message was worth all the voting efforts, wasn’t it!

You can also watch the Thank You video message on TH’s official website.

A German Tokio Hotel fan, “Billy Humanoid” aka @Billmaus, also won the “Biggest Super Fan” award.

What a good night for the “Aliens”!

Check out what MTV OMA said on their blog… yeah, we’re off to bed now. XD
