"The idea of this fan action came to us years
ago, when we were both fans of a band who weren’t very big in Sweden,
and we wanted people to notice them, so with that
in mind we collected the few Swedish fans we knew, and guess what? It
worked! The band got more and more fans in Sweden in just a few weeks,
so now we’ve decided to try the same thing with Tokio Hotel.
What you need:
- Post it notes
- A Pen
The fan action is pretty simple, and it can seem like it doesn’t do anything, but don’t worry, we will explain how we’re thinking, and why we think it will work even better than last time we did this.
So what you have to do is to simply grab your post it notes, write a few lines that alone can sound important or interesting from a Tokio Hotel song.
Then you take that note, and put it somewhere where many people are just spending their time, doing nothing. On the bus, the bus stop, train station, outside the classroom at your school, in the line of the store. Anywhere where they might have some extra time to use their phone.
Why?
Because nowadays most people got a smartphone, and they use things like iTunes and Spotify to listen to music while they wait for different things, and if they see a note with an emotional line of text that might fit in their life, or that they just think sounds beautiful, there’s a big chance that they will search for the song, and give it a listen. With some luck, he or she will like it, and we might have a new Alien joining our family.
Or maybe the note will remind an old fan of the music he or she once used to love, but haven’t listened to for so many years.
Why do we want to do this?
Simply because Tokio Hotel is coming back, and we know that this album will be very important. It’s no secret that if they fail this album, it might be their last. So we need people to come back, and we need new fans as well to find their music.
We know that many people are against the idea of new fans, because they want to keep the fandom as it is right now, but the truth is, that even though the Aliens are amazing in every single way, we are not enough active ones to actually save our band when they come back, and we don’t want it to be a big flop, now do we?
To make this a bit more fun for you, we will also host a small competition. Take a photo of your notes, or you putting it up, and send it to either our twitter or our facebook. Include your name and country, and if you want to, your town. The 8th of March we will together with the Tokio Hotel Swedish Street Team pick out three winners, who will get a small surprise. We haven’t decided what you will get yet, but we ship worldwide and it will of course be something related to Tokio Hotel.
So, to sum the competition up:
What: Take a photo of you putting up your note with a Tokio Hotel lyrics.
Where: Wherever you want to, we ship worldwide.
When: Before the 8th March.
Send it to: Tokio Hotel Sweden, Twitter or Facebook.
Some examples: (We apologize for the terrible quality)
