YOWSA!
What in the world has happened to Tom and Bill Kaulitz? They've gone from little boys with terrible style and become really hot guys, yowsa!

Translation of the article:

I say to myself that I need to relax, but I never do. Everything that I do must be perfect says Bill, the singer from Tokio Hotel. At 21 years of age, the artist is a perfectionist with regards to everything he does, and that's the reason of the succuess behind Tokio Hotel. Over the span of 10 years, the boys have toured around the world and built up a solid fanbase. After massive attention from media and fans, the boys are ready to take a break.

"We all have strong bonds to our families and they all support us," says Bill. "Tom and I speak to our mother every day and she's never forced us to do something (we don't want to do). She's always supported us, and given us free reign. 'Do things your own way,' she says, and we do!"

He's got 10 suitcases with him on tour

When you're on tour for three months at a time it's not so strange to hear that the guys each have over five suitcases with themselves (A/N: try packing for a whole year in one suitcase, boys! :P) But Bill obviously holds the record, with a whole 10 suitcases on the tourbus with him.

"It feels like we have more (stuff with us). The tour is so long that I never remember how much I have with me," says Bill, who sometimes goes up to six stage changes (A/N: costume changes?) every concert. Even though he dresses up the most out of the band members, he's very clear on what he will never wear on tour. "Shorts and real fur!"

Bill is clear on his own style, but the rest of the band isn't as daring.

"We all think that Bill's costumes are fantastic, but for us, it's important to be who we are on stage. We all have our own image," says Gustav. Even though they are familiar faces around the world, they can imagine what it's like to be a Tokio Hotel fan.

"We know exactly what it's like to stand in line for hours, wanting the best place in the venue, so we can't put a price (A/N: literally, "we set a big price.") on the fans," says Bill.

"Georg knows how it feels. He's a huge fan of mine, and he constantly fights for my attention," says Tom.

When it comes to Tokio Hotel's free time, the boys never really have a precise plan on how they spend it.

"We all take every moment and inspiration we get, and while Tokio Hotel has already travelled the world, we try to play in all the countries that fans will have us in." But so far, they haven't had enough!
