Together with our two winners, Niamh and Lisa, we're now sitting on the roof terrace of the InterConti and are waiting for the Meet & Greet with Tokio Hotel and first of all want to ask a few questions.

Is today the first time that you're meeting Tokio Hotel?
Niamh: Yes. Like, personally and up and close… Yes, that's the first time.

What's so special about Tokio Hotel?
Niamh: Well, definitely their looks. Meaning, a lot is definitely down to the outer appearance, I'd say. And the music adding to that and particularly that they were already making music prior to that. Meaning, [that they] have actually also been a group from an early age and... Yes, that maybe there hasn't already been anything like it in Germany before.

Describe the moment when you found out that you're going to meet Tokio Hotel now. Meaning, that you're the winners. What was it like for you in that moment?
Niamh: Well yes, so I received the email and at first I couldn't believe it at all and I was thinking "Nah, that can't be true now." And then I called her straight away. And now we're extremely excited. Also in school earlier, [and] have been all day. Definitely. I think, [it] will really be a day that one won't forget quickly anymore.

*Tokio Hotel arrive*

All saying hello...

Bill: Do we want to take pictures, first of all? Or what else?
Girls: Oh ja! Oh yes!

*picture time*

Niamh: I'm Niamh. That's Lisa. [we're] Both from Düsseldorf. Erm. [we have been] Fans since 2005.
Bill: So right from… the very beginning.
Niamh: Exactly. Well, actually [since] the, erm… Like [we have] also really [been fans] since the Comet. Your very first Comet.
Lisa: Yes, exactly from that day on, actually.
Georg: Cool.
Bill: Yes, we can [remember] that well.
Tom: That was also a very funny performance, I thought.
*all laughing, especially Bill*
Niamh: Why was it so funny.
Bill: Why was it so funny, Tom? Come on, tell.
Tom: Bill just looked very funny at that time.
Bill: Yes, I can remember it… I think it was like the most exciting award ceremony for all of us because it was our very first one.
Tom: And we were nominated subsequently. (nb after nominations had already been announced)
Bill: And we were nominated subsequently. That means, we have... Well, whenever I ... Whenever we're still seeing pictures even today, like in [picture] montages or something like that, when they get shown... erm, [then] I know that we've definitely been so very happy. Well, I think that was like the most exciting moment for us as a band. Back then when we realised "Ok, we're receiving such an award for the first time now and we're getting to be involved in it, with all those people."

Lisa: Are you still as excited nowadays as you were back then?
Tom: Well, especially because we're so much abroad now, erm, it's actually always rather, rather nice and relaxed for us now when we've got something scheduled in Germany and we're actually more looking forward to it than being, erm, extremely nervous.
Bill: I think, we're just super nervous prior to concerts and such things, right? Meaning, when we're on tour. We're actually nervous every day then.

Niamh: Erm, die Georg take a sh*t prior [to concerts]?
Bill: Georg took a sh*t. Definitely. Georg, Georg took a sh*t prior to every concert. Like, definitely.
Tom: Yes.
Georg: Every time prior… yes.
Bill: Well, I think, you even went four times in Rome.
*all laughing*
Bill: That was also a very good show. *laughing*
Gustav: A new record on tour.
Bill: Yes, that wasn't bad. Nah like, we're also really forcing him to do it. Meaning, he also really has to go.

*complete question not included* Niamh: [...] in Tokyo?
Bill: Yes, Tokyo still [has] not happened yet... We've had, we've had a pretty bad experience, just now. Namely we had a fortune teller in... erm... Where was it? Taipei?
Tom: Yes.
Bill: Well, we've had a fortune teller there and he then [...] us, erm... Well, actually it was like two birds that were picking cards and we asked, when... What did we ask again? When we'd get to Tokyo or if we'd [get there] at all...
Tom: Nope, if we'd get to go to Tokyo some time this year.
Bill: That's it. They said… not so much.
Tom: Doesn't look like it.
Bill *laughing*: Doesn't look like it, right? So, they said, we wouldn't get to Tokyo just yet. Even though we're actually intending [to go]. Meaning, we actually want to [go] as soon as possible. Meaning, hopefully this year. However, if not [this year], then in the beginning of next year.

How does one feel after such a meeting?
Lisa: Well yes, it was definitely very exciting and erm… Yes, I think, it has to sink in a bit at first. It was...
Niamh: Yes, they were very, very nice. Just like one also knows them from the TV, that's how they also came across, I thought. And I think that’s really good. Meaning, I really liked it. Was awesome.

Finally, both of you are getting a Nokia 5310 Music Express each now.
Girls: Many thanks.
Have fun with it.

Well, that was the meeting, the Meet & Greet with Tokio Hotel. It went well. The two lucky winners drove home and Tokio Hotel are also on the road again. And we're also getting on our way, now. Bye.
