Around sixty Tokio Hotel fans met up, Saturday, at the Place Napoléon, to share their passion.
They will be 45,000 at the concert on the 21st of June in Paris (Parc des Princes concert). "So glad to meet you!" Johanna sighed with relief, when she joined her fellow Tokio Hotel fans at the reunion, Saturday afternoon, at a pavilion at the Place Napoléon. It wasn't easy to find them, with the brocante (secondhand market) at Casimir, which took up most of the space. The admirers (there was only one boy) of the German musicians went a little unnoticed, relegated in one corner of the area. Everyone was "well behaved" (I guess they mean, not too crazy
), and the meet up was rather "successful" according to Marion, the organisor, who had only anticipated ten or twenty people. It went up to a good 60. "The goal is not to organize a concert here," said a young high school student, 18 years old. "In fact à La Roche, it's not possible, we don't have any concert hall.""Rendez-vous in Paris"
Adeline, 18 years old: "Marion is a friend of mine. It was through her, that I found out that we could all meet up at La Roche-sur-Yon. I wanted to meet other people, to share this passion of mine for the band. Internet is good, but it's nicer to get to see each other." Johanna, 21 years old, from Challans, is intereted in Tokio Hotel, "since not too long ago." She had heard of them, and had asked herself whether the singer was a girl or a boy: "But we don't judge by the looks, we judge them by their music. Everywhere I go, I meet people who really like the band. On the 21st of June, I will go see Tokio Hotel au Parc des Princes." With friends? "No, with other Paris fans. We will be 45 000."
On Saturday, on the pavilion steps, Johanna was looking at a photo album of the band, accompanied by Quentin, 10 years old, from Clouzeaux, and accompanied by his mother. It was through a newspaper that the young boy heard about this meet-up. The 1st of March, he had been to a friend's birthday part at La Roche. He listened to German albums. He enjoyed it, and after, he even went a bought 2 albums. Quentin is also a tecktonik amateur. Will he go see Tokio Hotel? "Why not?" said Nathalie, his mother, who prefers Cali's concerts. "I understand that people want to go listen to bands that they like. I don't find Tokio Hotel's music unpleasant. It's nicer to listen to than the punk or hard rock from my days, like 25 years ago." And what was your kind of music? "It was U2 and it still is!"

La Roche, the capital (for one day) of Tokio Hotel's groupies
About thirty young people (contrary to the last article), a majority of girls, met up yesterday (Saturday) in front of the pavilion, Place Napoléon. What they all have in common: they're all Tokio Hotel fans.
Yesterday afternoon, it wasn't hard to recognize the young fans of Tokio Hotel, the teens' new "heartthrob". In general, they wear black and t-shirts imprinted with the image of their idols.
This meet up, is all thanks to Marion, Gazeau, 18 years old, a young "Sablaise" with whom it was "love at first sight of Tokio Hotel, two years ago." And thanks to the internet, the message was passed on (about the meet up) "to the many fans in Vendée."
"We can relate to their lyrics"
Among all the fans, Eva, Yonnaise, 17 years old: "It's a passion" she declared. Her three friends, also from La Roche, had met at another meet up last March, give their assent. Whether it's Marion, Eva, or the others, they all agree to the same thing. "We can relate to their lyrics: parents' divorce, suicide, drugs, love affairs..."
And to be able to understand them, Eva even takes German courses. Clara, 14 years old, will go see them on the 21st of June, au Parc des Princes. "I'm so impatient!" she said. What about the parents? "Our parents will accompany us but won't come into the hall with us," she clarifies.
Quentin, 10 years old, the youngest fan (of the meet up).
Quentin's mother is ready to bring her son, one of the rare masculine representatives and the youngest of the meet up.
He has the complete Tokio Hotel outfit, which was given to him from one of his friends on his birthday. "He even has a quilt cover. He sleeps in Tokio Hotel," his mother says ironically. He was intimidated at first, but he progressively got closer to the other fans.
That's what the goal of this meet up was: "to meet other Tokio Hotel fans," is Marion's explanation.
