The twins and their A1s are surrounded by classic American muscle cars, maybe Audi intends for the A1 to be a new classic?

Tokio Hotel America Interviews Martin of Cherrytree Records

Tokio Hotel America, the official American fanclub, had the chance to have a lengthy interview with the president of Cherrytree Records Martin Kierszenbaum.

In the interview Tokio Hotel is not the only topic discussed. Schnee, a head THA administrator, inquired to Martin's work ethics, his opinions on international music, marketing, and she even asked if there could be some new Cherrytree t-shirts.

It's a well rounded interview showing a view of Martin that Tokio Hotel fans don't usually see when he tweets. Interestingly it starts off with one brief question relating to Tokio Hotel and then the subject isn't touched again until the second half of the interview.

On the topic of Tokio Hotel Martin talked about his contribution to the song Dogs Unleashed, how he tries to get Tokio Hotel to come back to America, and a great deal more. I was glad to find a good portion of the interview is devoted to advice, from Martin, on how one can help promote Tokio Hotel in America.

It's a very refreshing Tokio Hotel (related) interview. Much more in depth and extensive than the usual interviews fans are used to.

Tom Kaulitz Reeconects with Reebok

Tom Kaulitz sports a pair of Reebok BB4000 sneakers on the front page of Reebok's German website.

Not only is Tom modeling the shoes but is also giving the chance to one very lucky fan to win a contest where the prize is to hang out with Tom on tour.

Tokio Hotel's official twitter announced a new video would be uploaded to their youtube channel.
Here is the video along with an English translation.



Translation

Your chance, Reeconect

It’s a lot of fun, it’s something different. For once I do it alone.

For me it also always important that when I do something like this, that it’s authentic and my own thing.

Tourbus, soundcheck, backstage, 5 star hotel. Be there and check reebok.com.


Anyone can buy concert tickets.
We send you on tour with Tom Kaulitz.
You can find the codes from Aug. 5 in Reebok Classics.


Austria, Switzerland, and Germany are the only eligible countries for the contest.

I personally think this is a pretty cool contest with an awesome prize not only because a fan gets to hang out with Tom, and maybe the rest of the band by association, but that we learned from this video that there is going to be some type of tour in the near future!

Tom Kaulitz and Reebok

Tom is on his own for his Reebok Reeconect photoshoot



Pro7 Translation

At a photoshooting for a sports shoe brand, Tom gets into talking mood and explains what's the difference between his clothing style and the one of his twin brother Bill.
"The thing is, that I need freedom, that it needs to look good and most important is that I can move in my clothes and it also needs to be relaxed. For example, I'm not the type who wears extremely tight clothes, because they press and pinch and so on, it really looks not good. For example, my twin brother, he really looks weird/crazy."

Well, probably this criticism wasn't meant so serious and more a little teasing between brothers.



ZDF - Leute Heute

Big jumps can make Tom Kaulitz now. The star is a bright guy. He got an advertising contract. Now he needs to prove that he's fit as a fiddle. Very enterprising the young man.

RTL Translation

The boys keep their money together, the fans thought about Tokio Hotel until now. But now, the supossably young-millionaire Tom Kaulitz told us why his money gets less every week.

He's happy to finally be alone in the spotlight.
"It's much more uncomplicated than with the other 3 guys."
He uses the opportunity to backbite.
"My twin brother looks really weird/crazy."
Tom Kaulitz the number 1B at Tokio Hotel and the conservativeness in person.
"I can wear what I want."
Photoshooting for a sports shoe producer, he's exactly the right one for this job. Tom has got something, which is quite rare considering men: a shoe obsession.
"At home, I created a little room like a little storage room. The shoes are getting more and more. About 10 new pairs per week."
When he's at tour, he of course can't take them all with him. And also another thing is forbidden, the rule number 1.
"No girls in the tourbus. We're like 2 months on tour and I can never be without women."
When Tom can't handle the hard deprivations of a huge rockstar on tour, he can still start a 2nd career as a shoe model. He obviously got talent for it.


VOX Translation

Tom Kaulitz is now on a solo trip. We meet the guitarist of Tokio Hotel all alone at a photoshooting. That never happened.
"It's much more uncomplicated as with the other 3 guys."
Is he on a flight of fancy or what? No, Tom does this solo thing for the spots brand Reebok. On the stage, the 4 boys will still be rocking together, when the 20 years old didn't acquire a taste for it now.
