Tokio Hotel TikTok Live, 08/11/22 (with English transcript)

Transcript in the comments! Thanks to optimistic-yuyu on the Tokio Hotel Discord for helping with some of the German translation. Also, I accidentally clicked away from the Live toward the end; please enjoy me frantically scrabbling around trying to get back to it 😬

TRANSCRIPT, PART 1 Georg: …need to invite Gustav as well. Bill, are you there? Hello hello? Bill: Hello, yes, I'm here, but I didn't click on my camera, I guess, so I have to do it again. G: Yeah, do it again. It's always the same with those guys. I can also invite… Gustav. Here we go. Let's see if the rest of the boys are able to use this app. *_*Gustav appears*_* G: Good morning! Gustav (GS): Hi all. *_*Tom appears*_* Tom: Yo! G: Yo. T: I just pressed the camera in time. Last second. G: Jesus. GS: Last second. T: When you have the countdown, then you have to press the camera. G: Actually I never did because I always start the live streams here. T: Oh. G: Never saw that. T: You have five seconds to press the camera. G: Ah, OK. But Bill's lost, I don't know where he is. T: Bill's always lost. Lost is his second name. G: Yeah. T: Hey, everyone. Good to see you. G: Back from vacay. Here we are. *_*Tom appears*_* Bill: JESUS! It worked! G: Guys, how was your vacation? All of you guys together, you have been on vacation for a year. B: I mean, I was only gone for like, what, Georg and I, we were working until the last second, and then I was gone, like, what, 10 minutes? G: Yeah, I mean, it was two weeks, but you're number two, right? *_*Tom disappears*_* B: It felt like 10 minutes. Where did Tom go? G: It said "Guest is offline." B: Oh. G: That's probably because he didn't pay his- B: Gustav, are you still on vacation or are you back? GS: No, I'm back home. I mean, we had a call last week, you motherf-----r, so you know that I- B: No, but I thought, like, you took that call from, I don't know, somewhere on… GS: Yeah, I just drove back from Croatia at home just for the- B: Honestly, I didn't see your picture because there were so many people on the call that I didn't see where you took it from, you know? But do you think I look, like, tanned still? I feel like I'm losing it already. G: No. B: No? G: No. GS: You're sitting the whole time inside, right? The whole day? B: I'm not tan anymore? G: I mean, you look healthy, at least. B: I know, I've been back for, like, 10 days. G: And it's all gone, right? That's the age, honey. B: Oh. That is so rude, you guys. OK, well, welcome. We are happy to be back, but I've got to admit that the first week after I came back from vacation has been already exhausting, so we feel like we need to go on vacation again. T: Yep. B: We're honestly in the studio every day because we are finishing up the album and it's a lot. T: It's a lot. We have to… we have to be quick, yeah. B: Always a lot. And you guys, we can- I don't know if you saw, because we shared that on Discord before, but the album box is, I think, almost sold out or is sold out. I know they manufactured a couple more boxes because it sold so fast, but you guys have to be super quick because otherwise it's gonna be gone. We got the numbers this week and it's crazy. We want to say thank you, I mean, we love that you guys are loving the box, but there's only so many, so when it's gone, it's gone, and there's only one chance in all these boxes that we're gonna come to your house and play a couple of songs and hang out with you and drink with you. There's golden tickets in the boxes and you can win meet-and-greets, you can win tickets to the show- to the tour, right, Georg? And then there's only one ticket with a living room concert. So it's very exciting. G: You know what, I thought it's probably the cheapest private show we ever played. B: That's true. G: If you buy all the boxes, I mean, you have a guaranteed private show. *_*A mustache and hat (a virtual TikTok gift) appear on Georg*_* B: I think that suits you very well, Georg. G: Right? B: I think that would be a good look for you, yeah. T: Did you see that? That looked good, no? B: Yeah, it looks good. T: I'm just making some styling suggestions here for Georg. G: Yeah, do it, go on. T: You get it again. *_*The mustache and hat reappear on Georg*_* B: Yeah, somebody's saying we have to preorder the box. Yeah, guys, you gotta be super fast with the boxes. There's not many left. And I'm not lying, I mean, it's not that I just want to push you guys. You can also- T: I actually tried to order one on Amazon and it didn't work because it was sold out. B: Yeah. But I think they are shifting a few more boxes on Amazon probably, so if it's not available right now, you should check back. But it's honestly… G: I think Amazon got a restock, yeah. That's what I heard too. T: Why are you guys having so many coins? Bill has, like, 490 coins, and I have, like, 57. G: Because you spent them all on my cowboy hat. B: No, it is because- you know, this is a little bit like stripping. So, people give money for your performance, how you look, how entertaining you are. So, obviously, I'm getting, you know, the most coins. T: I shaved my beard just for you guys. Don't you see that? B: Honestly, I… I mean, now I feel like you look like you did before vacation. T: No! G: Yeah. T: Before vacation, it was like this. B: Right, Georg? Like, you wouldn't really know. G: No. There's no difference to the campaign shoot, no. GS: When you say it, I see it, but, um… no. It's a little shorter, right? T: This is like four weeks now. Four weeks ago, it was really short. G: I want to see a picture without the… without everything. GS: Sorry, guys. *_*Gustav puts down his phone*_* G: Have you done the Hulk Hogan? Like, only… T: A little bit, actually. A little bit, yeah. B: I love how everyone's always like, "Why are you not talking in German?" Guys, there is a lot of people that are not from Germany and if we speak German, they won't understand. G: What's poppin'? *_*Gustav reappears*_* B: Guys, I want to know, only by reading all the titles of the song… When Georg and I released the album artwork and stuff, and on the box I think it says it as well, but anyway, so, just by reading the titles, what do you think is gonna be your favorite song on the album, without knowing how the song sounds or what it could be, but just by the title, what do you think is gonna be your favorite? Somebody's saying _Smells Like Summer._ G, reading the chat: _Happy People._ B, reading the chat: _Hungover You._ B and G, reading the chat: _Runaway._ B: OK, I already said that on Discord, I'm gonna say it here, so my favorite song on the album is _Runaway._ I love that song SO much. Tom and I were finishing it up yesterday and putting some final touches on it- *_*A chef's hat appears on Bill*_* B: Ooh! That's cute. And I love that song so much. It's my absolute favorite. T: Yeah, mine too. It's a really good song. I mean, it's getting better every day. G: Is there anything we could spoil after the summer break? B: Um… so, we are gonna head over to Germany pretty soon. In September. We're gonna shoot the new music video for the main single for the album. And the main single for the album is gonna be _Happy People._ I think I already said that a while ago. If not, then I said it now. And we're gonna shoot the music video for it, which is gonna be super cool. I've been working on this concept for a while with one of my favorite directors, and, yeah, it's gonna be a cool shoot. And did we say that there's gonna be a feature on that single or no? G: No, we didn't. B: Yeah, so there's gonna be another artist on that song as well. G: Wow. B, reacting to a TikTok effect: Tom, are YOU sending this? T: No. B: Oh. G: Guys, you both have 10k coins now. That's crazy. B: WAIT, WHY IS TOM GETTING SO CLOSE? Whoever is, like- T: But, Georg, what I'm sending you now, a _Schatztruhe-_ *[editor's note: "treasure chest" in German]* B: Giving coins to Tom, can you just stop and give them all to me? G: weddingcake is sending me a _Schatztruhe._ Thank you, weddingcake. T: And then you're getting money, or how does it work? Are you getting this? G: I think I'm getting coins, and you can change them into real money, but I have no idea, to be honest. T: Really? Amazing. I want to send you some- B: Guys, if you have any questions in German, we can also throw in some German in between. I have no problem doing it, we're just speaking in English because we want everyone to understand, so don't be upset. But I can also throw in a German answer. T: Yeah. I have something… *_*A flower crown appears on Bill*_* T: Look, that's me. So many nice animations. B, reading a comment in German: "Hello from Celle. *[editor's note: the German city that the twins recently talked about on their podcast]* We'll see each other soon." G, in German: Yeah, when they open the prison back up, and someone looks into the books again, you'll be there really fast. *_*Bill laughs*_* *_*Bill reads comments in German that say hello from Mannheim and Magdeburg*_* B: Yo! G: Magdeburg! *_*Bill reads a question in German asking if they plan to do rock again*_* B, in German: Well, we sent a new song to our record company yesterday, which is also on the album; it's called _Dreamer._ Tom wrote that, so, yes, super old-school Tokio Hotel, so very "rock-y." And let me put it this way: Our record company agreed that the song is very old-school Tokio Hotel. But let me tell you, it turned out to be a great song. It really could have been on which album, what do you think? G, in German: Not on the first one. T, in German: On... B, in German: On _Scream,_ maybe. G, in German: No. Huh? B, in German: _Scream,_ the English album, which was a mix. You know? It's an English song, Tom. T, in English: Yeah, it could also have been on… on… Oh, we're speaking German now, aren't we? Are we speaking German or not? B, G, and GS, in German: Yes. T, in German: It could've been _Humanoid_ or it could've been _Zimmer 483,_ although _Zimmer 483-_ B, in German: -was German.

TRANSCRIPT, PART 2 G, in German: Now let's do the ultimate Tokio Hotel test with you guys: What special day is next week? GS and T, in German: _Monsun's_ birthday. G, in German: Bill didn't say anything. B, in German: I was trying to think! T, in English: I've seen the _Monsun_ birthday in the calendar just now, that's why I- G, in English: Yeah, because I told _[indistinct name]_ to put it in there. B, in German: Isn't it wild that it's already two years since we did _Monsoon 2020?_ *_*They switch back to English*_* G: Yeah. T: But I actually have to say, the _Monsoon_ version that we did in 2019, I think was amazing. I love that version very much. It's actually one of my most favorite on the record, too. I love it. So good. G: Yeah, it's a cool version. 100%. *_*A crown appears on Georg*_* G: Hmm! Are we gonna celebrate together? B: Yeah, we can just FaceTime each other and get wasted. G: Like you do every day. B: Like in the good old days, when we were younger, you know? T: Yeah. Yeah, true. G: When we were younger, there was no FaceTime. B: Guys, if you have any questions about the record or about some songs, you can put that in the chat and we're gonna answer them. T: What is your favorite song on the record, Georg? G: I can't wait for _Happy People_ to come out. I want to have it out right now. T: That's your favorite on the new album? G: I mean, I have it in my head the whole day. Like, really, for the last week, it's in my head. B: I played _Happy People_ for, um, a friend that hasn't heard anything of the album and the song was stuck in his head for days. He was like, "I just couldn't get it out." It's crazy. G: I think it's gonna change once it's out, but I'm so nervous to put it out there that, yeah, that's my favorite song for now. T: And Gustav? *[editor's note: This part is a bit hard to understand, but Tom refers to Gustav saying his least favorite songs on the album were WWWY and **_Berlin_** during the Discord chat that happened right before this TikTokLive]* GS: I mean, just for right now. But I'm very excited for _Dreamer._ T: _Dreamer?_ GS: Yeah. T: I like _Dreamer_ too. It's a great song. It's funny because for me, it's always the songs that we don't put out as a single, you know? *_*Georg reads a question in German asking if they will play old songs on the tour*_* G, in German: Definitely. B: Yeah, we're gonna play a lot of old songs. We're working on the set list already, but since we had to push the tour again, we changed things up a little bit, because we were almost ready to hit the stage, to be honest. But now that the album is coming out before, we are definitely gonna play a lot of songs on the new album, but we're gonna switch it up and, of course, play some old Tokio Hotel songs as well. Costumes are gonna be amazing, stage is gonna be amazing. So, yeah, if you don't have a ticket yet, check out tokiohotel dot com and- G: Get one. B: See if we're gonna stop at your city. GS: Very excited for the costumes. B: I know. They are super super cute for you, Gustav. T: But, wait, are we making them already? Because I had some new ideas for that yesterday. B: For the costumes? T: Yeah. B: Like what? T: I'm not gonna talk about it now, but is it set in stone yet? No. B: No. T: I think we should stick very close to the old costume for Georg, from the last tour. *_*Georg laughs*_* B: Somebody was asking if we're doing a vinyl. So, we're not doing a vinyl for the release in November, but we thought about maybe releasing a vinyl a little later. Like, in, maybe- G: For the tour. B: For the tour. T: I think for the tour would be great. We could take it with us, yeah. G: Here's a good question. *_*Georg reads a question in German asking Bill to sing Happy Birthday to Monsun*_* B: I think all of us should. Like, maybe together. How about that? G: Yeah. One, two… B: Three! HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY… T: TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY _MONSUN…_ *_*Bill reads a question in German asking when they will be in Germany*_* B: So, we're gonna head over to Germany in September for… I don't even know if we're allowed to say it, but- G: Wait, what? What, no, stop. What, what- don't spoil something you shouldn't have spoiled. B: There's something happening in September, not in regards to Tokio Hotel but something else. I don't know if we can talk about it. G: No, we can't talk about it. B: Anyway, we are flying to Germany for that. There's like, a surprise thing happening. And then also we're shooting the new music video for _Happy People,_ and what else? Oh, I'm gonna be in Paris. I'm gonna fly to Paris for Jean Paul Gaultier. What else? I don't know if I can talk about these things. T: I don't think so. G: You're gonna be in trouble, honey. B: OK, I'm not gonna say any more, but there are a lot of things happening in September. Tom and I are flying over for like 10 days. "When will you be in Paris?" I'm gonna be in Paris for… I think it's Fashion Week, so, it's like, end of September. *_*Tom reads a question in German asking about new WeddingCake songs*_* T: Yeah, there is new stuff in the making. B, reading a comment: "No risk, no fun, Bill." OK, I can say I'm gonna be in Hamburg for a few days in September. G: And he stays in the hotel called… *_*Bill laughs*_* T: I don't even see the questions for some reason. It's weird, I don't know, I think I need to update TikTok. I don't even see the questions. I can only see gifts. G: We're just reading the chat, honey. We don't see any- B: Yeah, no, we're reading the chat, yeah. "Will Heidi sing her song on the tour?" I don't think on OUR tour, but I don't know if WeddingCake is gonna be playing live anytime soon. G: Maybe WeddingCake is the opening act for Tokio Hotel. I could totally see that. *_*Bill reads a comment asking if they're coming back to Magdeburg*_* G: We are working on getting to Magdeburg. B: We want to play a big show in Magdeburg, and I want EVERYBODY to come. If you're from somewhere in Europe, you have to come and travel to Magdeburg for a big show. I would love that. G: There are not even enough hotel rooms to host all the people. B: Well, you guys can- It's the summer, so- G: You can stay with Gustav. B: You can stay with Gustav. You can camp, right? Bring a tent. G: Gustav has a huge garden. GS: If it's the venue we're talking about, I mean, it's a huge place. T: There's plenty of room. I would love to go to Magdeburg. If we plan… Would that happen at the next tour? G: If we plan Magdeburg, we're talking about adding it at the end of the tour. I wanted to go to other countries like Austria and- B: Me too! G: -countries we missed, but you guys said, "No no no, I don't care about other countries, the only thing I want to play is Magdeburg," so here we go. GS: Go for it, Georg. B: I would love to play in other countries as well, but I just- T: It's your world, Georg, I just live in it. G: Mmhm. GS: You're just guests. T: Yeah. It's strange that we're not playing in Austria. I think Austria was one of the countries where _White Lies_ went gold. Right? It was the first country, I think. G: I mean, as we said, it's just the start of the tour. Like back in the day, it's the same thing we did with Feel It All. I think Feel It All had four or five parts. *_*Gustav's dog appears*_* B: Somebody's saying "I love the hair." Thank you, I literally just came out of the shower, so they're a little dry right now. T: Bill, that was for me, that wasn't for you. B: No, it was for me. They said, "Bill, I love your hair." G: Yeah, maybe they mixed your names up. T: Aww. How old is your dog now, Gustav? GS: Lucky. Mr Lucky. B: Mr Lucky. GS: Eight months, 50 kg. B: So when you call him, do you call "Mr Lucky!" or do you just say "Lucky"? GS: No, when he's friendly, "Lucky," and if he's doing some sh-t in the garden, "Mr Lucky." B: If he pooped inside and had diarrhea in your house- GS: That was over after eight weeks. B: Actually, Stitch just had diarrhea in my house last night and I had to clean it up at like four in the morning. It was nice. G: Mm! T: That's no surprise. That's just another Wednesday for you. G: Like, having a dog sh-tting in your room or having diarrhea? T: Both. B: GUYS, somebody is saying _Grüße aus Kotzen._ *[editor's note: **_Hello from Kotzen,_** and **_kotzen_** also means "vomit" in German]* Is Kotzen actually a place? G: I'm sure it is. I have no idea. B: That would be so funny. G: So you want to add Kotzen and Magdeburg, then? B: Yeah, let's play in Kotzen, too. Is there a nice venue in Kotzen? GS: Live _kotzen._ Live in Kotzen. G: Live at Kotzen. Bill, in German: "Let's see Tokio Hotel in Kotzen." Tokio Hotel Kotzen show.

TRANSCRIPT, PART 3 || _22:57__-__24:08__: This part is in German - please let me know if you'd like to help translate it!_ || T: Georg, how do you feel about the new Bundesliga season? With the first game from Dortmund, do you feel confident that this is… G: I don't feel confident at all, but at least I have some hope that it'll _gegengewicht_ *[editor's note: "counterweight" in German]* to the Bayern, but it's gonna be boring as every year. T: Yeah. We played pretty strong for the first game, no? *_*Gustav laughs*_* G: Yeah. Let's hope for some red cards and a lot of injuries on your end. T: Oh my God, look at you, that's so evil to say. Jesus. B: What Georg wishes on other people is just horrible. T: I'm actually gonna see right now if I can order the new Tokio Hotel box on Amazon, if it's back, because the other day, I couldn't. B: Somebody was asking about my fragrance. Yes, I'm still working on it, and I hope you can buy it this year. Before Christmas we're trying to get it to you, and, yeah. We're on it, guys. T: By the way, if you want to order our new album outside of Germany… G: You can order that on the Tokio Hotel shop, yeah. T: On our website, right? G: On our website, yeah. Outside of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. B: I think I ordered one on Amazon to my house. G: In LA? B: Yeah. G: But you're gonna pay $200 shipping or something crazy. B: Oh. T: Bill's never checking his invoices. G: Yeah. T: He's always just confirming, buying everything. B: I think I ordered it. T: I I did too, actually. G: Good luck getting it. I think you need to walk somewhere. They don't deliver it. T: So I'm checking on Amazon right now and size M is not available. G: See. B: But it will be, right, Georg? It's gonna be available again? Are they making it? G: I have no idea. Let me check if it's only in your country. I'm pretty sure… so, if you're from the U.S. like you guys, you can order on the Tokio Hotel shop, because M is still available there. T: Oh, really? Then I'm gonna order from our website. B, in German: I'll say this again for those who maybe didn't understand in English. *_*Bill explains in German that the album box is available to buy, and one box will include a golden ticket for a living room concert*_* T: It's gonna be so much fun that we're gonna play at someone's house. I love to go into houses of strangers. B: Me too. G: You're right, it's sold out here too on Amazon. T: Oh, really? G: Crazy. B: So, guys, you've gotta be fast. But Large is still available, or no? G: Large is still available, yeah. B: So you can still order the large- G: And it's not that oversized, right? The shirt is not that oversized. B: And you guys, yeah, you've just gotta be fast, because they're selling fast. Once they're gone, they're gone. G: Also, you only get this shirt design within the box. B: All right, guys, I feel like we can do maybe one or two more questions and we should head back in the studio. Tom and I have a full day. T: I know, we've actually got to finish the album that's in the box that you guys are ordering right now. *_*Bill, Georg, and Tom laugh*_* G: "Will the box be signed?" Yes, we're gonna sign every single one of them. T: How are we gonna do that, by the way? That's gonna take us a couple of days. G: We only have one day to sign them. T: ONE DAY? B: The box that you actually have in your hand is the box that the four of us already licked and signed. *_*Bill laughs to himself*_* T: But, wait, if we have one day, that's impossible. G: No, it's not. T: I mean, when I'm seeing the numbers, then- G: Also, we have to drive to, I think, Bielefeld or something to do it there. B: Yeah, to the factory. G: We have to do it at the factory because otherwise the timing is not working. T: Did someone calculate how many hours we're gonna need for that? Because I think then we have to sign one box in two seconds, and then we spend 24 hours- G: Yeah, will you stop drawing all your crazy sh-t on that? T: I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL SIGNATURE and everyone loves my signature, so, live with it. *_*Georg laughs*_* T: You want to have some special signatures in there. Also, by the way, your left-hand signature takes the longest of all of ours, so. Because Georg is a leftie. G: Whatever that means. Are we gonna see a soccer game once you're here in Germany? Should I organize something? T: That would be great actually, yeah. That would be fun. B: Somebody asked if we planned more German songs. Um, no, actually, as of now, to be honest, no. G: There's still one German song we have, right? B: Yeah, it's not gonna be on the album. Oh, by the way, _Kaulitz Hills_ is coming back from its summer break, so Tom and I are gonna record a new episode this week, and I can't wait to be back. It felt like forever. It's only been three weeks, but- T: _Kaulitz Hills_ is going to be back. B: -you can hear all about our vacation on the podcast. All right, honeys. || _30:46__-__31:38__: This is another German part - please let me know if you'd like to help translate it!_ || B: Bye, guys. Thank you so much for hanging out. G: Happy _Donnerstag! Tschuss!_ *[editor's note: He's saying "Happy Thursday, bye" but the "happy" part is in English and the "Thursday, bye" part is in German lol]* B: Happy _Donnerstag!_
