_When how was TOKIO HOTEL organized?
Bill: After it becomes the current lineup, Though me and Tom have already appeared on a stage from 7-8 years old, Gustav and George joined later. One day, they came to our show and asked us, "Do you need a drummer and bassist?" It's the begining. At that time, we have drummer and the bassist do not either. We play by this member, and about six years have passed.

_Do you feel the relations between members? Would you tell about each other?
George: We have very good relations Because of knowing really each others for a long time. It's a happy together, and we are really good friends because of understanding each other's good-side, bad-side, weak point, and the habit. And, for instance, when some one would like to be alone the other members guess the feeling, we leave him alone while others are doing something. We are functional band.

_Were parents supportive compared with the career of music?
Gustav: My parents were very supportive. Our father had a lot of videos of Phil Collins and Eric Clapton, and I often played mimicry drum while watching it under the table. Father was looking at me, and decided to resister for Music school.
Tom: My situation looked like that. About me, everything began when I've seen the guitar hung on the wall.
