Check out the latest email from the US Tokio Hotel eTeam!
Tokio Hotel Team!
We have wrapped up the FIRST part (I'm calling it the first part, you'll see why… just keep reading) of the Operation EP Sell Out contest – but we're not sold out yet. The goal to sell out every last copy of Tokio Hotel's first U.S. release has NOT been a failure – we just need a little more time! At last count we were almost half way to our goal – this means we've got a little over 1500 copies left to clear from the shelves. We can do this! This is a totally obtainable goal – and here's how we are going to get it done…
Your mission, should you choose to accept, is easy: Bomb the Web with Banners!
Put the banner (http://www.totalassault.com/htmlemail/tokiohotel/ep_banner.jpg) anywhere and everywhere --- your MySpace page, your Live Journal, your blog, your favorite message board, even your least favorite message board. The more places you put the more creds you'll earn to one SWEET prize (wait 'til you hear that part). Just remember to report your work on the team page http://totalassault.com/team.php?team_id=280
Your prize: ONE Grand Prize winner will get a PERSONALIZED hand-written thank you letter from the band!
Wow! I don't know about you, but I sure would love that prize!
Have you joined the eTeam yet? It's super-easy, free, and totally official. You don't have to fill in your real address (though you might want to, in case you win a prize!), but you'll get e-mails like this one with the latest projects and chances to help promote the band, and win amazing prizes, like this one! When you join — or if you already are a member, don't forget to to earn cred towards prizes, etc!
Back to the EP: It's been out since 11 September, exclusively at Hot Topic stores. Have you gotten your copy yet? Find your local store and check it out. You can call first, but keep in mind that a lot of stores don't even know that they have it until you wave it in their face.
If your local HT doesn't have it, or you've already bought them out, you can still do more! Either have your store transfer more in (that's like them ordering more copies from another store), or you can call use Tokio Hotel Does America's plan, and call up out-of-area stores to purchase over the phone. (Note that this requires a credit card.)
My local didn't have the EP, but I had a friend send me a few copies, then when I went to LA I stopped in at the Hot Topic there (at Hollywood & Highland) and bought them out. They're having more transfered in, so if you're in the area, check them out!
Remember, the more EPs we sell, the more buzz we build, the more TH will want to come to America! If you end up with heaps of EPs, don't just sit on them, find other fans that can't get them and send them out! Give them to your friends who have heard you talk for ages about TH but have never heard the music! Pass them out on street corners, or leave a stack of them in the Hot Topic (or anywhere else — with permission) with a sign that says "Free CDs!" Anything to get the word out.
And, of course, cover the internet with the banner! Don't forget to turn in your reports to the eTeam!
Part Two of how you can Support TH:
VOTING!!!
Tokio Hotel has been nominated (thanks to fans' votes) in two categories of MTV's European Music Awards! They'd love to win (of course), and we'd love for them to win. The smile on Bill's face win the band wins an award would outshine the sun, I'm not even kidding you. The boys have been incredibly lovely to us to encourage us to vote, and have handwritten letters to their fans in four languages! Click the links for English, Deutsch, Français and Italian!
It's super-easy to vote, and the boys are up against such huge bands as Good Charlotte and Fall Out Boy, so we really need to come out and show our support. Following are instructions on how to vote! vote! vote!
How to vote for TOKIO HOTEL in the EMAs [European Music Awards]:
The boys are nominated in two categories: "Band" and "Inter Act."
You can vote 10 times/category/country/day, so, to make things really easy, just click each of the following links, and click the "Vote" button 10 times, until it tells you that you've voted the maximum number of times!
Note: Even in the non-English sites, the "Vote" button is the same big red one, and when you have voted 10 times the bar that comes up will be red as well.
Links! ((The "1" links are for the "Band Category", the "2" for "Inter Act"))

Tokio Hotel work really hard and are super-dedicated to their fans. It's the least that we can do to help bring that back and show them that we appreciate all they do, and that we love them, too!

It's really happening. I know I keep saying that...I know that you must be thinking "ja, eNOUGH already, we realise that you're excited, blah blah blah" but you don't understand. Probably. And if you do...then you know exactly what kind of strangled squealing noises issued forth from my mouth after I opened the padded envelope and held them in my hands. And why my heartbeat hasn't quite slowed down. And why I still haven't opened them because I can't bear to. Wow.
I'm not going to keep both of them, one is going to go to my beloved Hanna (with whom I had a total K-twins drool session with today- love ya, kid!). But one will still be mine. And I think I may have another one in the mail to me, so that I can have one open to play and gaze at, and another to just...have.
I'm also going to submit the above picture (unfortunately I couldn't get a good one with all four boys...stupid poster is uncooperative...GUSTI I LOVE YOU) to the Official eTeam in the hopes of winning this tshirt:
I'm starting to get lightheaded from not breathing.
Gazing at them lovingly,
Charlotte
P.S. I'm kind of sad that when they're all sold out I won't be able to use this banner anymore, as I am exceedingly proud of how it turned out.
It's really very lovely...I think that the layout (pictured above) is simply gorgeous, even though I've seen the picture a million times this is the best way it's been presented. The site has, as you can tell, news (though there isn't much yet!), tour dates (empty so far), media, a band bio, and a place to register. There is also a message board,
So please, go check it out!! Bookmark it! Sign up! Tell all your friends!
Also, don't forget to pick up a copy (if you haven't already, or even if you have!) of the EP at your local Hot Topic! If yours doesn't have one, Tokio Hotel Does America has come up with a solution. You can ask them to have another Hot Topic store send them one for you. It will be free of charge and only take a couple of days! Get enough of your friends to ask as well, and they may begin carrying it. I wish that I could do this...damn this rural existance!
Have you joined the eTeam yet? Um, why not?
I am still constantly freaking out about everything that's going on with TH and America...whenever I speak about it my voice gets all high and weird!!
Squeaking with glee,
Charlotte
Tokio Hotel's US Invasion is officially underway. Yesterday we got the first hints of it with the release of the Scream/Ready Set Go EP at Hot Topic stores, and today I'm telling you that it has definitely begun. Total Assault is a promotion/publicity company that is working in conjunction with Interscope Records to orchestrate Tokio Hotel's Official US eTeam! Join up now to be on the forefront of the Tokio Hotel takeover!
And, of course, don't forget to buy the EP!
Hardly even believing it,
Charlotte
