Catching the curious, stupefied, almost alien look that brightens the beautiful, still freshly youthful face of Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Tokio Hotel heart and brains, makes one feel strange. They wander through the rooms of Palazzo Biscari, the splendid eighteenth-century baroque mansion in Catania - where the photoshoot portrayed in these pages was set - with a featherly, respectful and timid step, as not to interfere with the genius loci.
You might expect that these guys - grown up too fast and now 20 years of age - give everything for granted, considering the milions of copies they've sold all over the world, the last record being Humanoid (Universal), which came out exactly one year ago. But no. They move from a room to another, almost unbelieving that they can be here today. "It's a magnificent palace, an artistic treasure: there aren't places like this from where we come from", Bill mentioned with an esitant smile, referring to his hometown Magdeburg.
But it's right there, in that village know for its saltmines, once part of East Germany, where ten years ago the Tokio Hotel rock tale began. Barely 7, the Kaulitz brothers were already busy with guitars and extravagant looks, which attracted the school mates' disconcert, by whom the two identical twins were already seen as out-and-out aliens. No wonder back then Tom was already hooked on Aerosmith and guitarist Joe Perry, whereas Bill was a big fan of David Bowie and the White Duke's art of quick-change.

One wouldn't expect such fresh, almost adolescent curiosity on the handsome faces of Bill and Tom Kaulitz, the minds and hearts behind Tokio Hotel. They walk around the decadent rooms of Palazzo Biscuri, the splendid 18th Century palazzo in Catania, Sicily where the photo shoot took place, almost meekly, as if they don't want to disturb the "genius loci".
Considering their success, with a million records sold worldwide (the most recent, Humanoid, on the Universal label, having come out exactly a year ago), it would seem natural for these two young fellows - who have done so much at such a young age - to take everything for granted. And instead it's just the opposite: they seem shocked to find themselves here. "This palace is magnificent, an artistic treasure. There aren't places like this where we come from," says Bill with a slightly embarrassed smile.
He's referring to the East German village of Magdeburg, where the Tokio Hotel fairy tale began ten years ago. Already at the age of seven, the Kaulitz twins were playing guitar and experimenting with extravagant looks, which made them stand out as outsiders at school. Tom was obsessed with Aerosmith and the guitarist Joe Perry, while Bill was a huge fan of David Bowie and fascinated by the transformative talent of the "White Duke".

Christina Stürmer az első viasz szobráró beszél...
[...]
Riporter: Meg tudod mondani, mely viasz szobrokat láttad már?
Christina: Uh, már láttam Bonot, itt van mellettem, Madonna, Bill Kaulitz, Beyonce - ott vannak, ők mind nemzetközi sztárok, azt hiszem elég jól érzi magát mindenki. [...]
R: Mindig úton vagy és már nagyon sok kellegáddal találkoztál. Van valaki, akire azt mondanád: "Én nagyon szeretném látni ezt a személyt élőben"? Ha igen, miért?
C: Aki most hirtelen az eszembe jut, az Bill Kaulitz. Mert mikor legutóbb láttam élőben... azt hiszem 5 éve volt.Még csak az elején voltak, a fiúk még nagyon fitalok voltak, és tényleg a karrierük legelején jártak.. És most, hogy ránézek Bill szobrára... hatalmas lett! Azt hiszem, hogy most már 180 cm, vagy lehet, hogy már 190 is van. És... érdekelne, mert csak fiatal korában ismertem, és most mint magasságra, mint zeneileg nagyobb.
R: Volt valamilyen fellángolás köztetek?
C: Tessék?
R: Volt-e valamilyen fellángolás köztetek?
C: Milyen módon?
R: Uhm... El tudnád képzelni, hogy Bill Kaulitz-hoz vonzódj, mint férfihoz?
C: Uhm ... neem, 4 éve van barátom, ő teljesen más típus. Engem főként azért érdekelne, mert úgy tűnik nagyon megváltozott, és mint mondtam, én akkor láttam őket élőben, mielőtt még igazán kitörtek volna. Igazából az érdekelne, hogy most milyen.
Christina Stürmer talks about her wax statue first...
[...]
Interviewer: Can you tell us which other wax statues you already saw?
Christina: Uh, I already saw Bono, right by my side there; Madonna; Bill Kaulitz; Beyonce – right there; they are all international stars, I think you can just feel well there. [...]
Interviewer: You're always on the road and you already met a lot of colleagues. Is there any where you would say "I would really like to see this person in real"? And why?
Christina: Who comes in my mind, spontaneously now, is Bill Kaulitz. Because last time I saw him live and in color.. I think that was 5 years ago. And they were just at their beginning, the boys were insanely little, actually.. and at their very beginning. When I look at Bill's wax statue now.. he became huge! I think he's 1,80 m tall now, or even 1,90 m. And.. it would just interest me now, because I know him only when he was little and now he's from the height bigger and in the music business bigger.
Interviewer: Were there sparks flying between you and him?
Christina: Pardon?
Interviewer: Were there sparks flying between you and him?
Christina: In what way?
Interviewer: Uhm.. could you imagine that Bill Kaulitz is attractive to you as a man?
Christina: Uhm... noo, I have a boyfriend since 4 years, he's a totally different type. It would just interest me in principle, I find he has changed extremely, and as I said, I only saw him live and in color before all that rejoicing and embrace. It would interest me what he's like, today.
Tudom, hogy kicsit régi. Tudom, hogy már mindenki látta. De nekem ez a videó akkor is olyan videó marad, ami bármikor könnyeket csal a szemembe. Mert "Zoom into me". Mert Tom zongorázik. Mert... mert... mert csak. <3

Hát nem gyönyörű?
Néha kell egy kis távolság (plusz felgyorsított idő) hogy felfedezd az igazi sépséget. Láttad már a sarki fényt? Ford: Brigi @ Billkaulitz-fans
Ist sie nicht wunderschön?
Manchmal braucht man eben etwas Abstand (plus Zeitraffer) um die wahre Schönheit zu entdecken. Habt ihr das Polarlicht gesehen? Isn't she beautiful?
Sometimes you need some distance (plus time laps) to recognize the real beauty. Did you notice the cool Northern Lights?
Bravo Chart: Darkside of the Sun #1 helyen!
A Kaulitz testvérek nem éppen szerencsések a szerelemben, de a Bravo listáján verhetetlenek és ezen a héten sziklaszilárdan állnak az #1 helyen, másoktól való fenyegetés nélkül. Szép munka Tokio Hotel fanok!
Mit hordanak a fejükön a kedvenc sztájaid?
Tom Kaulitz: a Tokio Hotel gitárosa nem adja fel a felismerhető megjelenését. A fonatai az 1 helyen álló ismertetőjelei, de nem szereti, ha teljesen az arcába hullanak. Megoldás - egy fejkendő a fején. Ez ad egy kis pluszt a megjelenéséhez és tartja a haját. /ezt a dolgot most csak én nem értem?Oo - szerk./ Ford: Brigi @ Billkaulitz-fans
Bravo Charts: Darkside of the Sun at #1!
The Kaulitz brothers may not have luck when it comes to love, but they are unbeatable on our Bravo Chart and this week they are rock steady at #1 without even a threat from others. Great work, all loyal Tokio Hotel fans!
What are your favourite stars wearing on their head? Tom Kaulitz: the guitarist of Tokio Hotel doesn't give up on his recognizable appearance. His braids are his #1 marks, but he doesn't like it when they fall all over his face. Solution - a bandana around his head. It gives a little something to his look, plus it keeps his hair out of the way.
A Tokio Hotel bandája Németországból érkezett, már szuper híres USA-ban és Európában, egyértelmű céljuk egy fellépés Tokióban. A gitáros Tom azt mondta: "Egy fellépés Tokióban és az egész világon!". Ez a zenekar álma. De van egy másik álmuk is, mégpedig egy másik élet egy másik bolygón. Tom ikertestvére, Bill azt mondta: "Hiszünk az idegenekben. Mivel a világegyetem olyan hatalmas, kell lennie valakinek egy másik helyen.". Emellett hinni az idegenekben, egy másik csodálatos álmuk egy másik bolygón élni. Micsoda csodálatos álom!

The band Tokio Hotel came from Germany which is super famous in U.S. and Europe made a clear goal of having a performance in Tokyo. The guitarist Tom said "Having performance in Tokyo and around the world is our goal!". This is the dream of the band. By the way, they also have another dream which is living on another planet. Tom's twin brother Bill said "We believe in aliens. Because the universe is so huge, there must be someone in some place.". Besides believing in aliens, their amazing dream is living on another planet. What a magnificent dream!
