It was in 2007 when a very young band was making a lot of noise in its native Germany and became the overnight in an international pop phenomenon. They were called Tokio Hotel, and their master combination of guitar and catchy hymns with their attractive look of Japanese comic characters turned crazy to millions of children and teens throughout the world including our country, which had a huge legion of fans who queued for hours to access their concerts and sang the choruses of Monsoon or Scream.
However, their last album so far, Humanoid, did not reach the stratospheric heights of success that were expected, and after their presentation tour, which brought them to Spain, there are no signs of activity and ended up falling into oblivion. Many wondered if the band has broken up, but Bill Kaulitz recently cleared these doubts by announcing that they plan to release a new album this year, of which details are not known yet. But ... what do they have dedicated all this time?
Well they have not exactly been quiet. After spending a season performing in Japan, where they had a large acceptance, each band member was dedicated to his own projects. Bill Kaulitz, the lead singer, left temporarily the music and used his physical attractiveness to start a new career as a model, but also in the studio of Far East Movement to collaborate on their single If I die tomorrow. His brother Tom, meanwhile, introduced himself into the world of sportswear, advertising and designing shoes for Reebok, and earlier this year he joined his brother in the talent show Deutschland sucht den Superstar, where both were judges. In late 2011, the twins launched a smartphone app under the name BTK Twins, through which they share pictures and videos with their fans as they tell their activities. And the rhythmic base of the band, Georg Listing and Gustav Schäfer, has transpired just a little bit over the years, but as you can see in this recent video, they are still part of the band. What do you think? Will 2013 a successful year for Tokio Hotel, or the best time of the band has already passed?
