DSOTS...? Best rock music video...? Well okay then. :laugh:

[AlexKaulitz]

One of my least favorite TH videos, but I'll vote!

...waiting for updates...

[Amdee]

Definitely voting!

This is Japanese VMA/EMA! It will be great promotion for the band in Japan if they win. Definitely worth of hard core voting.

*streching my voting finger anxiously*

There is a date 25th of June mentioned, so I assume the award show is then?

my voting fingers are going to fall off by the time this OMA stuff is over. :vmad:

Does this include the US? I wouldn't know because I don't watch MTV.
Probably not, eh? Since we're not really a part of the world?
Ah, the joy of living in Narnia. :roll:

I thought they were trying to get back into the music thing. :? A good start would be to replace some Teen Mom with World Stage. :eyeroll:

MTV Hits = Pure Music <- which is what Mtv should be :roll:
MTVNHD = Live performances 24/7.

I would have thought that you guys would get all the same?

It's unlikely, but you never know because it doesn't look like this is the complete list of performers/guests.

EDIT: I understand how people are upset with MTV not playing music videos anymore. I used to be upset until I realized how things are. MTV used to play music videos all the time because TV was the only way people could watch music videos. Nowadays, we have Internet. Instead of having to wait for MTV to premiere a video, we can get to it quicker through the Internet. Instead of missing it and having to wait for it to air again, we can just look it up on the Internet. The Internet(mainly YouTube) has replaced MTV when it comes to music videos.

[AlexKaulitz]

DSOTS...? Best rock music video...? Well okay then. :laugh:

I just realized I had the DSOTS video confused with the Hurricanes & Suns video. It's the H&S video I don't like, DSOTS is one of my favs and one of the reasons I checked out the band more.

This lack of sleep from these storms is frying my brain :s

I didn't stop watching MTV because of the internet, I stopped watching MTV because they stopped playing music. I can't leave the TV on MTV and listen to the music and stop what I'm doing to watch my favorite videos anymore. MTV stopped doing it, so I took my viewership to channels that will actually play music, like Fuse and VH1. The internet has nothing to do with that aspect. and the other channels have had an increase in viewers simply for this reason.

Well, you seem to be quite reliable source these days :laugh:

But seriously speakling, I think THDK's rumor info is a good one concidering that it's likely not only guessing. They seem to have inside info quite often, so it supports our speculations.

Well, you seem to be quite reliable source these days :laugh:

Voting is open!!! Click on the box underneath the words "Official Site."

For every vote, 10 Yen will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross up to $10 million.

[Amdee]

Yay! I'm off to vote! : grin:


Everybody, go and vote! We will get this MTV Award to the boys once again, right?

And every vote gives 10 yens for charity, so there is a good reason to vote!

[VanessaM]

It's not clear how many times you can vote. I voted like 3 or 4 times before it told me that I couldn't vote anymore.

[PockyTarts]

It's not clear how many times you can vote. I voted like 3 or 4 times before it told me that I couldn't vote anymore.

Same here.

This is something we'll just have to keep an eye on.

[SkySt0leN]

they're not taking in my vote!! D: it keeps saying: error??

[PockyTarts]

I'm able to vote again. I've voted several times already without any problems.

[Heidy]

Yup... I've voted twice today already...

[VanessaM]

Uh oh. I deleted my cookies and now so far it's let me vote 10 times.

Why are there no rules? The OMA thing had like 10 pages of rules. :/

ETA: Voting is until June 15th. Six weeks.

[Amdee]

they're not taking in my vote!! D: it keeps saying: error??

I got one error message when I first triued to vote, but when I tried again, it worked fine.

Also the number of votes seems to change a lot? I think their program is little glitchy. I hope they'll fix the possible problems soon.

I'm starting my voting ritual. With EMA I did 500 per day. I try to do at least 100 for now - daily... if it allows me to. This is a big thing, don't spare your votingfinger!

EDIT:
Voting like crazy and it seems to approve my votes -> goes off to continue.

[AlexKaulitz]

I've already voted like 30 times, is it going through? I'm not getting an error message, I vote and then refresh the page and it lets me vote again. I got one error message or something (I don't know what it said, i don't know Japanese, LOL) but I refreshed the page and kept voting and nothing else has popped up. Unlimited voting? I'll keep voting anyway.

[VanessaM]

I wish that there was a limit the way the EMA's had (100 per country IIRC) so you can have an idea of how much you've voted without having to count.

[Amdee]

I wish that there was a limit the way the EMA's had (100 per country IIRC) so you can have an idea of how much you've voted without having to count.

It's true. It was systematic to vote like that and somehow easier mentally. Now I'm stuck with the same feeling I had with Comets last year: "One more vote... maybe one more.." It's endless like that.

I asked from TokioHotelJapan in Twitter if they knew if it was unlimited, but so far i haven't got any response to my question.

[Amdee]

Okay, I reach the limit. My wild guess is that it is somewhere around 100 votes or so. Hopefully I can vote more tomorrow...

Good to know, thanks!!

[SkySt0leN]

well i managed to vote only once :/
when i first tried, a pop up appeared saying the website said: (blank)
so i tried again, and it counted my vote
the third try, i decided to google translate the page to read the japanese, and the same pop up appeared, but now saying: Failed to load xml files

what does that mean? :exclamation:

[Amdee]

I could only vote once now and then it said my vote has been counted etc. :sad:

I don't know what is the pattern with the site, because yesterday evening I managed to vote that probably 100 times or so. Now people complain they can't vote at all or only once. If this is one vote per day or even less, then we are screwed. We've seen how lazy people are these days :???:

I wonder if MTV Japan would answer if we'd ask? I tweeted them (only way I could find to communicate with MTV Japan), but it's midn ight there, so we'll just have to wait... If you find any email address or anything, pleasde post it here!

[VanessaM]

Just now it let me vote twice or three times and that's it, but that was the same thing that happened yesterday morning. This afternoon I'll delete my cookies and try voting again.

[Amdee]

It's really frustrating, because i don't know how many times we can vote and how often... And Japanese are not too eager to answe if we try to ask them about these :sad:

I loved EMA for clear voting system!

[VanessaM]

^Agreed about the EMA thing.

What's weird/scary(?) is that there doesn't seem to be much Twittering about this. I can understand that people are a little tired of voting, but not even to mention it? CT just tweeted about it; we'll see if TH does. If they don't, it'll lead me to believe that they don't care about it and that it's highly unlikely that they'll be there. But they sometimes wait a few days to tweet, so I'm not going to draw any conclusions yet.

There has been some tweeting about this, but not much. Though same has been with other voting - only closer to the ending period, people wake up to this. What I do wish is that Japanese themselves would promote this, but they haven't even tweeted in couple of days. It is hard, when we don'yt know much and translations are shaky. We could use some support from Japanese fans. The thing is that EMA & VMA are much more promoted, because they are "close". Same was with Latin Ametican awards. Twitter was quiet, because there was some sort of barrier between continernts (especially language).

But... I see peiople voting, but hopefully this will be more widely promoted. It is mentioned every now and then, but could be more. However "big" tweeters like BillKaulitzFans, tokiohotelusa, THWonderland etc. do tweet about this.

Six weeks is a long time to vote... It is very common that it takes time for people to warm up. Same was with EMA. For weeks it was only couple of people repeating the voting promo until it really got heated up.

BTW, I don't know if this is mentioned, but it will be aired live all around Asia at 6 pm on June 25th and Lady Gaga has been cionfirmed to perform. Other confirmed nmames seem to be Japanese/Asian.

but i can only vote once, which really sucks... so far, it seems as if not many people are voting... D:

[Amdee]

I've seen people semi-actively voting this. It's hard to tell. *shrug*

I tried to vote from work, but it let me vote only once and then once again after an hour. I don't know why6. It's really random.

[VanessaM]

It's letting me vote unlimited now. I didn't even bother trying this morning.

[Amdee]

Hey, have you voted already today? ;)

Voted too :)

So little news today in TH world? :sad:

I hope this doesn't turn people off from voting...

As long as I only try to vote in the afternoon/evening I don't have any problem.

[Amdee]

Hah! Well, if the band does nothing and is on nowhere in media, then it's hard to get something to talk about. Yup, wonder who was behind those new/old Mexico photos.. Whoever it was, thank you! :grin:

I usually vopte late at night, but yesterday it was problematic. Today I tried to vote afternoon our time (which is late night in Japan) and it first didn't let me vote, but suddenly did.

Anyway, I want to recommend people to close and open their browser if it doesn't let them vote more than once. It usually seems to help, but it's lot of work!

[PockyTarts]

It is a lot of work. :-|

I think we have a good chance at winning this one, though.

[Amdee]

I'm carefully confident as well, but it's hard to tell, because I have no clue of how active Japanese are on voting. I don't want to bring up false hopes, but still... we are internationally voting, so it is always good, right?

Keeping my thumbs up for this!

[VanessaM]

Uh oh, when I said we had a good chance, I was looking at a bad indicator of how popular the two Japanese bands. Turns out that they're pretty big in Japan. :oops:

[Amdee]

Well, all we can do is to vote - as much as we can. Time will tell how far it carries us. TH is not yet so big in Japan, so they could dominate only with Japanese votes, but we can always hope that the spirit of supporting this band carries far. Let's try to stay positive!

[jaq_sprat]

Normally I wouldn't mind, but I'm wondering if it's really such a good idea that specific countries let international fans vote.

These things don't give any indication of how big the fanbase actually is within the country.

[Amdee]

That's true, but it is also the same situation to everyone. These award things don't really measure the popularity in a certain country, but more like the devotion of the fandom in general. But then again... is the number of individual fans any better indicator of what's good and what's not? These are not so much about goodness anyway (generally speaking).

[jaq_sprat]

I understand that it's the same for everyone, but I think they should change the rules.
Those Japanese bands are probably more popular than TH in Japan and if TH win it will most likely be because of international fans, even though the majority of Japanese voters voted something different.

That's true of every time TH wins an award -- it's because even if other bands are more popular, TH's fans all over the world are more devoted.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter what the fans in any particular country would have voted for. In the end, these MTV awards are about making money for MTV. But the reason why it's good for TH to win them is because it gets them free publicity. After they won the EMA and the OMA there were tons of nice articles about them all over the world.

[.:TheNarnian:.]

Why does that web page have to be so bright?
Ugh...

I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here, I know, but I just wanted to say that I find it a little funny that this award is partially brought to you by Philadelphia Cream Cheese. :laugh:

http://i56.tinypic.com/fjg5yb.png

[Amdee]

Hey, Philadelphia is good! :grin:

I haven't voted for two dayus more than maybe few times a day. I've been having so hard time that I just... haven't felt like it. That's my confession. I try to make it better today and watchg a movie while voting.

I wonder if we'll get any confirmation whether or not TH will be there...

[SkySt0leN]

I admit that I haven't been showing much enthusiasm too :( seems like lots of TH fans feel the same way..
And the website allows me to vote once only D: so hopefully the two votes that I could have contributed wouldn't matter much :P

[Amdee]

I'm sorry, but it is hard for me to understand that people don't care about this, because for me this is one of the most important (or the most important?) voting of the year! It's Japan's VMA, for god's sake. I know, I spent couple of days without voting because of things in real life, but I try to make it up. It's just something I don't get why people aren't interested in this, because I think this is 1.000 times more important to TH as a business opportunity than any March madness or some other MTV polls. The band is trying to hit Japan's markets, so this would be like VMA was for them in America.

I suggest people to care more.

Is this the support TH fans brag about everywhere? :???:

You're right, this is actually the most important award yet this year. Unfortunately, I think people are tired of voting.

Since I was having trouble voting in the morning I stopped trying, so now I vote in the afternoons and evenings.

[Amdee]

It is hard to motivate yourself when band does... nothing.. but we should at least try, because this has the potential to be HUGE. I wish we could just bring this one home, because we need this and the most of all, the boys need this.

Why we celebrate of them getting to Japan/Tokyo, if we are not fighting to support them all the way on conquerinbg Japan?

Oh well, I do muy part and can't do more than that. It will just break my heart if we'd lose this one.

[jenia]

I am voting ... no matter what.
And if someone are not motivated to much (like band doing nothing now) Just listen to your favorite songs of them . And think of what thay did And what they are to you already. *wink*

[SkySt0leN]

Whoa, I'm not saying that I don't care. It's just that when people around you don't show enthusiasm, it kinda affects you as well. I've been trying to vote, but the website isn't counting my votes!! >:@

[AlexKaulitz]

I'm voting my fingers off every day (yup, grow new ones every night LOL)

[SkySt0leN]

It's unlimited for you? :o Maybe it's my computer, I'll try to sneaking to the website in school :laugh:

[Amdee]

It is unlimited. Or at least it should be. There are lot of problems on the site and it sometrimes doesnm't allow to vote more than once or twice, but re-opening the browsere usually helps for me. Sometimes it lets me vote uinlimited. It seems to hsave just some problems.

And I didn't mean anyone specifically, but in general.

[jenia]

ahh so its unlimited. so when is the event happening Cos voting could be every minute . I am unctuous

Voting ends on June 15th nand the award show is on June 25th

The band is trying to hit Japan's markets, so this would be like VMA was for them in America.

I suggest people to care more.

Is this the support TH fans brag about everywhere? :???:

Not to be sour or anything but it's not like they hit the American markets in '08 when we won them the VMA, the award and all the opportunities that came with it just went to waste.

Yeah. They had a chance here and they blew it. Now

[Amdee]

It's not really the point that they blew the chance. I think the key point is that VMA offered them a whole new chance in a first place and gave those opportunities they did or didn't blew. I think VMAJ can give the same opportunities for them in Japan. It's not in our hands what they do with them, but I think we should at least try to give them these opportunities. I don't think anyone can quarantee that victory would definitely give them anything, but at least it - without a doubt - opens more doors. In whole different way than some random poll of Bill's hairstyle or whatever unimportant things we've been voting on lately.

[VanessaM]

Mistakes were made in the Humanoid era and they've clearly learned from them. They may not be functioning as a smooth German machine yet, but (hopefully) they'll get there eventually.

I think we should move on from that. The Humanoid era is over. The Best Of era is over. It's the DSOTS era now -- a whole new ballgame.

[VanessaM]

They're performing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VanessaM]

Google translation of Universal Japan's tweet about it:

Hello to all the fans of Tokio・Hotel! Vote for me are the Aliens in the world on MTV Japan Tokio・Hotel Events, Video Music Aid Japan, and has decided to cast what Tokio・Hotel! I'll do my best to let them take the award for coming to Japan! http://bit.ly/jJRrog

I am shaking right now. We absolutely must win this.

[SilverGlitter]

GAGA + TH @ SAME EVENT.

DEAD.

<33

I am not worthy.

[Amdee]

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac220/thealisaurus/GIF%20Animations/Happydance.gif

I'm vo-vo-vo--voting my fingers off!

I kind of expected this, but confirmation is so nice.Two TH performances in one month? We are treated like little kids on Halloween! :grin:

[mary k.]

OMG TH performing in Japan Yay! :razz:

how far is Japan from the Philippines?? - maybe 5 hours plane ride!!!.. i have a really good feeling about this..

lets VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!

[SkySt0leN]

holy shizzz!!!!!!!! I need to vote!!! >:@ But I could only vote twice here today!!! Grrr!! I'd hate for the boys to go all the way to Japan and come back empty-handed.. and my few votes won't contribute much! :cry:
Why isn't it unlimited here.... D: I wish I had friends in my school who likes Tokio Hotel..

[PockyTarts]

OMG! YAY!!! :grin:
I knew they were going to go back to Japan in June, I never doubted. :ugeek:

This is the motivation we needed. *goes to vote*

[VanessaM]

I imagine they'll play DSOTS.

[Amdee]

DSOTS without a doubt, but I would pee myself if they'd play Hurricanes and Suns. I would probably experience a huge TH- :cffgrin: - death - and I wouldn't even mind, because it would be a happy death! :grin:

There are some problems on voting, but here are few tips:


* If it doesn't let you vote, come back little later and try again.

* Close your browser after every vote and re-open it. Lot of work, but works for me to let me vote as many times as I want.

*Add the site to your favorites/bookmarks and up on a list, so it's easily available anytime you are on your computer.

* Watch movies, tv-programs etc. while voting. Adjust the voting screen small to a corner and while watching, click and refresh countiniously. 1,5hrs voting goes easily without even noticing.

* Try to create a habit to give few votes everytime you go on computer.

* Use "free time" wisely. Vote while talking in a phone with your friend, cooking, waiting on a bus stop etc.

* Spread the link/voting in social media (FB, Twitter, blogs)

* Use the shortcut F5 to refresh the page. It comes to routine when you can click F5 with other hand and just click mouse with the other without even looking anymore.

...more soon...

[SkySt0leN]

* Close your browser after every vote and re-open it. Lot of work, but works for me to let me vote as many times as I want.


I discovered that I could vote loads of times using this method, using SAFARI! I hate myself for not using that first :vmad:

I told a few friends about this in hopes they would help vote, but only two are kinda willing to help. Most of them are excited about LINKIN PARK instead even though they don't even listen to them. They only act as if they love them coz they are more famous, and they want to be seen as cool by 'listening' to rock music (they actually listen to Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Glee, Bieber etc. ). -.- People like them really annoy me. (yep, I have social probs :( )

[jenia]

hmm I only can vote like 1 every few hours. It just dont let me do it with reopening.
1 more tip for voting ( Inspired by Amdees list)>:twisted2: After all day voting... Go to bed with your computer. And set the alarm clock to ring every 30 minutes untill june 15. By that time you will do it automaticly and be turned to computer yourself you ll never need to sleep anymore and can be proudly called voting machine! Follow the steps carefully and Good luck!
( sorry I am not trying to be evel I just feel need to write something like that ):laugh:
And VOTE!!!

[Amdee]

I can't believe this! The site is acting kuje a bitxch today,. I can't vote more than once, no matter what. I've tried three different browsers without a result. I'm so frustrated! :mad:

I hope you can vote more! :smile:

Btw, does anyone know if we can see this live from anywhere? I need to see this as a livestream from somewhere!

Edit.

I don't know why, but I suddenly feel so desperate about this. And I feel the need to apologize the boys. Please, please, forgive me that I might not be able to give this award to you. I would do so much, so much... but I don't know how I can do anything more and it breaks my heart. One vote by one as closing and re-opening the browser of Chrome. It can't be enough. :cry:

[AlexKaulitz]

[Amdee]

I'll vote for you Amdee!

Thank you, sweetheart <3

I'll try and keep doping it the berst I can, but technicakl difficulties in voting just make it so slow and ineffective. I only remember the insane voting Japanese can do and it scares me.

Tokio Hotel, tweet of this! Remind people!

[Amdee]

This voting is really difficult again. one-three votes and then I hsave to close and re-open the browser again. It's so slow.

But I'll keep doing that, I guess. I have no other choise.

[VanessaM]

Reminder to vote!

[Amdee]

I've been watching LOTR extended veditions lately while voting. I'm now starting Return of The King. :smile:

MTV Video Music Aid Japan Awards Voting!

At the MTV Video Aid Japan Awards we are nominated in the category „Best Rock Video“ with our song "Darkside of the Sun"...Rock the Vote! And for everyone whose Japanese is not as good as mine, just check the pic ;-)

I AM clicking like crazy already, d*mnit! :laugh:

[Brighteyedgirl_v2]

As I am waiting for the page to reload I looked at some of the other categories. I don't know how I feel about there being so many western/American musicians nominated. I mean it is possible to get non-western music in the states...but still it is weird. Oh well...Looks like my page has reloaded...going to vote for the guys.

I usually keep my mouth shut on this topic but today is just one of those days...

Nobody forces people of other countries to listen to music from the United States, or eat food from McDonalds, or buy books from U.S. authors and so on. If they like it, why should they be denied the right to enjoy it? Should we not be open to outside interests?

Why should people in the United States be expected to appreciate music and art from other cultures but when other countries appreciate things from the United States it must be because we are awful, evil people forcing it on them? It's just hypocritical bulls**t.

By the way, you are on a Japanese site voting for a German band :roll:

[Brighteyedgirl_v2]

Fair point Fair point...I didn't mean to cause any controversy :sad: . anyways I am back to voting.

[SkySt0leN]

This voting is really difficult again. one-three votes and then I hsave to close and re-open the browser again. It's so slow.

But I'll keep doing that, I guess. I have no other choise.

I have to do that too :( But they're worth it! :grin:

Honestly, what chances do you think we have on winning? Linkin Park is a huge band, and I think the boys were beaten by them once..

[Amdee]

I don't think Linkin Park will be the biggest problem. I don't remember that we've ever been beaten by them (I can be wrong, though), but we've beaten them before. They are huge, but I don't think they have that kind of voting culture as we do.

However I'm not too confident, because I have no idea of a) how Japanese usually vote and b) how big and how devoted fandoms the Asian bands there have. This is really just pure guessing at this point, because Japan is so diffrent from any other place that they can do anything and I wouldn't be surprised.

I have no idea what are our changes. I don't even dare to guess.

Ahhhh crud, I must have gotten mixed up :s (I feel so stupid noww!!!:P Forgive me!) I'm a late fan and I don't really know much of the previous awards, but if we've beaten them before, then I'm slightly relieved and hopeful:grin:
Well, one thing for sure, us Asians can get pretty crazy when it comes to their favourite bands. I've heard lots of crazy incidents where they killed themselves or sacrificed loads for their fave bands :exclamation: But, I don't know how big these bands are..

[Amdee]

MTV Japan announces on their voting site that they've now reached the maximum charity amouth of 100.000 US dollars. Voting is open until the June 15.

With the quick calculation it means that more than 810.000 votes are given all together, if one vote earned 10 yens to charity.

I hope you've voted a lot, too? This is not a game for one or two votes!

P.s. A tip: Google Chrome seems to work best in voting.

EDIT: Changed the right number for donations.

[SkySt0leN]

2-3 million votes? That's a lot:exclamation:
I've been voting, (def more than 2 or 3 :grin: ) though not as much I'd like to since this week is my stress/exam week

[AlexKaulitz]

Just wanted to mention that since the limit for the charity amount, the confirmation of your vote going through looks different!

When you vote you will now see 投票完了。(means vote completion) instead of what you were seeing before. So if you click the vote button and you get this 投票完了。your vote was counted :)

Keep voting!

@Alex: Thanks for the heads up about the change in the voting, but this is on hiatus until after the Billboard voting is done. :razz:

[Brighteyedgirl_v2]

Hello,

Wanted to stop by and repost the link...so we can have it every few pages or so.

http://www.mtvjapan.com/vmaj/nominee#best_rock_video

[Amdee]

Can someone clarify this for me?

Google translation says that MTV Japan promised to donate 10 million USD, but now people on Twitter are talking about 100.000 USD. Can anyone tell which one is correct, because it affect significantly to the given/needed votes.

10 million donation = 81 million votes. 100.000 donated = 810 000 votes given. It's a huge differrence and meaningful for us and our chances.

I'm very confused.

Until this becomes clear, take my previous post of 81 million given votes as a speculation, not the truth necessarily.

:???:

And what comes to my votes, I'll go for this and I let you go for Billboard :smile:

Okay, thanks. So Google was wrong.

I edited the post on previous page.
810.000+ votes has been given by now = average of 12 000 per nominee (15 x 5 nominees). Assumingly some are getting lot more and others lot less.

Keep voting, people!

[VanessaM]

Okay, thanks. So Google was wrong.
Apparently. Wow, Yahoo got it right and Google got it wrong. I can't believe it. But I see why they got it wrong.

Google

The donation from Viacom's vote is calculated based on 10 US million U.S. dollars (as of April 28, 2011, approximately 800 million yen.

Yahoo

Furthermore, as for fund-raising from the via COM corporation which calculates on the basis of poll 100,000 US dollar (as of 2011 April 28th, approximately 8,000,000 Yen.


810.000+ votes has been given by now = average of 12 000 per nominee (15 x 5 nominees). Assumingly some are getting lot more and others lot less.
Based on this, I think we can take it! :grin:

You're welcome! And I think we have a good chance to win this. I'm not worried at all! :smile:

[Amdee]

I still am, because I'm always super nervous, but hopefully oir efforts are worth of something! :grin:

Btw, in that English blog there is something else confusing. What does this mean?


MTV Japan and Viacom also announced that a ¥10 donation would be made to the Japanese Red Cross for each vote cast within Japan in all fifteen VMAJ award categories.

“The automatic donation to the Japanese Red Cross is a simple way to raise funds and give Japanese music fans a new way to help,” said Indra Suharjono, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Viacom International Media Networks North & Southeast Asia. “Our goal with MTV VIDEO MUSIC AID JAPAN is to create an unforgettable night of music that pays tribute to the resilience of the Japanese people, and inspires audiences all over the world to contribute to the recovery effort.”

Are our votes counted? Do our votes help to raise money for Japanese Red Cross? Are there a mention of only Japanese being able to vote or is the voting open to all? It does seem to count our votes, but..

Just asking...

[maryam]

Our votes are counted. They asked us to vote! TH tweeted about it.
It used to show the money donation message, but on the other hand TH and Tom never mentioned the donation part.
I have no idea. :confused:

[VanessaM]

I think we're best off not thinking about this. *hides head in the sand*

[AlexKaulitz]

I think we're best off not thinking about this. *hides head in the sand*

I think it's a legal thing. Honestly, the OMA thing was for U.S. residents only. They never follow through with that rule though, they have to list it like that for legal/international law purposes.

I'm positive they are counting our votes.

[VanessaM]

I think it's a legal thing. Honestly, the OMA thing was for U.S. residents only.
Oh wow, you're right, it says that in the rules! :o

But these other awards don't seem have rules posted anywhere. :???:


They never follow through with that rule though, they have to list it like that for legal/international law purposes.
What's the purpose? Like, who's going to sue if the people who vote aren't in the US?


I'm positive they are counting our votes.
Yeah, they're definitely counting our votes, but the question is whether our votes counted toward the donation. I find it hard to believe they're keeping track of IP locations.

[AlexKaulitz]

Yeah, they're definitely counting our votes, but the question is whether our votes counted toward the donation. I find it hard to believe they're keeping track of IP locations.

I think it did count, I also doubt they are sorting through IP info. I'm just going to believe it counted towards the donation. :grin: Because I want to and that's that :laugh:

[Amdee]

None of these voting are global, but nobody ever follows that. EMA was 100 votes/country, but even TH recommend voting for several countries (happened easily by switching the country you used MTV).

Yup, just forget that question. It doesn't really bother me, but just something that popped up in Twitter. The limits of rules are... blurry, let'¨s put it this way. :grin:

[Amdee]

While waiting for the results for Billboard voting, why don't you give few votes on VMAJ?

If it doesn't let you vote, close and re-open the browser or try to change between Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. Chrome works best for me.

We have few more weeks to work on this one.

Wouldn't it be nice to give the boys something to come home with in June? Wouldn't it be sad if they'd travel to Japan for nothing? Imagine all those nice accepting speeches, new pictures & press photos it will give us if they win! Worth of little work, right? ;)

[PockyTarts]

Photos... :cffgrin: :cffgrin:

Okay, sorry. :laugh:
I'm pretty confident we'll win anyway, but I'm definitely going to be voting a lot more now. :D

I'm back to voting for this!

[rawveggirl]

I'm sorry to say that I haven't been voting for this as often I should. My heart simply hasn't been in it lately - not because I love the band any less, but rather because my life has too traumatic for me to focus on anything else recently. :(

However, I have been voting, and I will keep voting as often as I can. I really hope our boys win this. They deserve it. :)

All that said... I can't wait to see them perform again! This is exciting! http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/hapydancsmil.gif (http://www.millan.net)

The award show starts at 6pm Japan time on Saturday June 25th

"MTV VIDEO MUSIC AID JAPAN will be broadcast live from Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture to more than 30 million households on MTV Japan, MTV Korea, MTV SEA and MTV China on Saturday June 25 at 1800 Tokyo & Seoul/1700 Singapore & Beijing. A special one-hour version of MTV VIDEO MUSIC AID JAPAN will air on MTV channels worldwide to over 550 million homes as an instalment of MTV’s weekly live music series, MTV WORLD STAGE. "

That means that people outside Asia are probably not able to watch it live (unless someone finds a way to watch MTV on web), but hopefully someone uploads it instantly on YT/somewhere. Don't forget to follow Twitter & other social media for it!

So far I haven't heard/seen any mentioning of any livestreams. Sadly.

I think it's all on social media for us outside Asia. I'm sure all videos will be out as soon as possible, but I'm afraid that it will be as difficult with it as it was on their earlier trip. Japanese is so new territory for them compared to Russia, where the information came in a light of speed all the time.

I hope we get lot of info and live updates.

[Amdee]

Probably on @tokiohotel's third visit here, they'd be staying for 3 weeks! \(^o^)/ yay! Just updating you guys!

Remember the RT from @TokiohotelJapan about TH staying for 3 weeks? Seems to be some mistake in translation :) They meant TH will be in Japan in three weeks' time.

@THO_Network

Can someone see the link/have registered???? :???:

Oh, I furiously registered if there was anything behind, but it seems to be most likely false alarm.

It only linked to Bill's talks on that backstage interview from Moscow when he said that they don't have any booked appearancies at the moment.

I think it's nothing. I HOPE it's nothing.

***

Keep voting, guys! Important voting!

[VanessaM]

It's just a link to the MuzTV backstage interview. Because Bill said they had no more performances planned, they made a ridiculous leap of logic to say that it meant that the VMAJ performance was canceled. :roll:

I just freaked out. Sorry about that.

Don't make too big deal out of Bill's babbling. The boy doesn't necessary know what he is saying. He also still speraks about THTV. :laugh:

But d*mn you if you cancel! Seriously, d*mn you, TH!

But I think it's nothing, so. Yeah. False alarm.

[midnight_epiphany]

I remember having a recent discussion with someone about rumor formation and development, and I mentioned that many rumors are started when someone misinterprets information. This is a classic example! ;-)

Okay, video store opened a few minutes ago, so I'm off to pick up some truly horrible slasher films and get to work voting. I still have a sore back so I can't do much but sit around anyway. I hope the band appreciates my recent string of back injuries. :laugh:

[midnight_epiphany]

Just here to whine that Chrome doesn't want to work for me and Firefox and IE are so (expletive) slow! :evil:

[Amdee]

I had problems with Chrome couple of days ago and haven't tried since that. It's so frustratingly slow to vote on this, tbh.


One more week to go, people!
Last votes in!

[Amdee]

Just to remind you...


It's really important to vote!

I know it sucks and it's difficult to vote, but please, find some energy to do it "hard way". Try different browsers, open and close windows etc.
Don't we all want TH to have yet another MTV award?
There has been concerning talking of people not voting that much.


It is up to US to make it happen!
Nobody is voting for YOU!

Please, help Tokio Hotel to win!

There are advantages from voting:
1. You're helping out with the MOST AWESOME band ever
2. If they win, they'll get to go home with happy faces (AND we wouldn't want pictures of them looking depressed and stuff)
3. It goes to charity!!!

AND we'll get a reward of seeing the boys perform again :grin: (presuming that the rumour is false)

Rumor? What rumor? The one about them not going at all? The one that's basically been debunked? (I hope!)

Are they supposed to perform? I thought they would just "be there". I'm so behind.

[VanessaM]

Like Vanessa said.

Amnd this "rumor" was only based on Bill saying in Moscow interview that they don't have anything scheduled/booked right now... Which can easily be put on Bill's babbling whatever comes to his mouth without thinking.

Or maybe Bill just didn't get the memo? :laugh:

[SkySt0leN]

I'm hoping that Bill just didn't get the memo! Want so badly to see them again! :P
How long do you think they'll stay in Japan? A few days like Russia?

[VanessaM]

They said in one interview that the next time they went they wanted to spend a bit more time there, but I feel like that's unlikely simply because that's just not what they do.

[Amdee]

I agree. It's probably just few days. They tend to keep business out of pleasure, so to say. Whether they come back (or have already been?) outside their public appearancies, thyat we will probably never know, but that's what they most likely do. This is just business.


Tokio Hotel tweeted about this again!

[briar_rose]

They said in one interview that the next time they went they wanted to spend a bit more time there, but I feel like that's unlikely simply because that's just not what they do.

I've always found that a little odd. Yeah, they're busy this year working on the new album but as travelling to Moscow from LA takes so long, I would've stayed a little longer than they did there. They arrived Thurday afternoon, performed and had interviews on Friday and left Saturday. If they've gone so far, why not stay and hang out for a couple of days?

I figure because the label's not paying them to vacation and it's not worth it for them to start working it out that they'll pay for extra nights in the hotel and car/driver/bodyguard/whatever.

[Amdee]

This sounds about right. It is most of all a business trip and just like you travel for work, company (in this case company called Tokio Hotel or whoever is responsible for the expences) pays, but if you want to spend extra time or do something nice, it would be out yur pocket and I assume they are not willing to do that easily.

[midnight_epiphany]

Tokyo is 16 hours ahead of me! It's already 2:24pm over there. I assume voting ends at midnight? That's less than 10 hours. I'll be asleep. I'd like to stay up all night and watch movies and vote, but for some reason the site always shuts down for me at midnight my time and then won't let me vote again until late morning the next day. It'll be over by then! I'd better get to voting right now. I have just enough time to get a movie in before the clock strikes 12.

[midnight_epiphany]

Just as before, it cut me off right at midnight (I was using Chrome), then it let me vote once each in Firefox and IE. I'll try again in the morning, if I get up before 8, but I've rarely been able to vote in the early morning before this, so I guess I'm done for this campaign. I enjoyed working with you guys. :mrgreen:

Thank you. I try my best to be online as much as possible, but it is very possible that I can't be much. No pics & goodness can evcer replace the rush of real-time following, though. Almost feels like this is not even happening and Moscow was the last time I saw them in a very, very long time. :sad:

Yup... :cffgrin:

[PockyTarts]

Awww. :sad:

I always love the rush of real-time following like you said, but last time, having to waste 5 hours of my day stuck listening to nonstop Russian and being disappointed numerous times throughout the show sorta made me realize sometimes it's just best to wait and skip all that stress. ...I dunno. I'm sure a lot of this is going to happen in the middle of the night my time and I don't know if I want to become a vampire just for this. *shrugs* We'll see.

[Amdee]

I need that rush. It takes away so much if just check pics and updates later. It's not... real. When it's real-time it's almost like being there, seeing them, feeling the presence. It's closest what we can get to the band anymore. Missing it - even if it makes me physically and mentally exhausted (like Russia) - will take away the experience of be "there". That makes me sad.

But yay for nmew pics & videos! I hope Japanese are active on that!

I guess your right. :sad:
I want to be here for the performances and all that jazz, but I don't mind waking up to new pics. Like airport/hotel/whatever pics. I still get super excited, even when I am half asleep. :P

Oh, yeah... I forgot about that. :eyeroll:

I've just recently started getting more active on Twitter and I want to help with updates this time.

[VanessaM]

Maybe this should be its own thread?

7:30 p.m. Tokyo time = 5:30 a.m. EST

This also kills me because I can't possibly go to it. I sometimes feel like the universe is conspiring to keep me away from TH. :sad:

But acoustic! It's going to be freaking sweet! If there's a livestream, I'm totally going to be up at 5:30 a.m.!!!!!!!! :grin:

I'd recommend accounts like these (as an example)

http://twitter.com/#!/THNews_Ru (In Russia, but they seem to be active)
http://twitter.com/#!/THO_Network
http://twitter.com/#!/TokioHotelJPST (maybe?)
http://twitter.com/#!/UNIVERSAL_INTER (Japan's Universal)
http://twitter.com/#!/ReseTH_News
http://twitter.com/#!/THMalaysiaST (possibly? It's on the same timezone, so..)
http://twitter.com/#!/tokiohotelJAPAN
http://twitter.com/#!/THWonderland
...and my highest recommendation to my favorite site...
http://twitter.com/#!/TokioHotel_Info

If you follow these I'm sure you are very well updated. :grin:

For my luck, most of these things happen between very early in the morning and afternoon, so my chances are that I can be here bit more. I just need to sleep bit less. I can't be updating my, though,m because I'm with the very poor internet connect6ion, so it takes ages for me to upload anything.

*biting nails* (because Bill is never going to see my nails anyway :lol:)

I think I may use one of my twitter accounts to follow just the accounts I know update during these things. This way I know whatever is coming through is relevant. My other two accounts have a lot of RP (I've become such a voyeur! :oops:) and while things are going on I want to be able to actually see the info and not get distracted by... well, other things *clears throat*

Ok, so anyway... I'll be dedicating myself to updating and hope I can even come close to the awesome updating done by Amdee and others here. So relax and enjoy yourself Amdee, and join in whenever you can. Tom goodies will await you

OMG! im so jealous.. i want this! :cffgrin:

but it seemed there will be a lot of people.. 150.. acoustic gives u a tiny bit of a shot at having an intimate musical performance or closeness with the band..


F*ck yes!


TH goes acoustic in Tokyo on 24th!
Sponsored by Audi.

[Amdee]

The audience of 150 people is on the edge of being too much to acoustic, of course, but if someone gave me a chance, I would gladly accept that. :grin:

How about the band for once announce 2 months or more beforehand a real concert somewhere? Would save my life... But nooooo. :???:

I'm just jealous. Don't worry about me.

Seattle is currently 15 hours behind Singapore, so it will be 10:30 PDT, not PST, for me. I think you're an hour off because we're in Daylight Savings Time now (which always confuses me) and Singapore and Tokyo aren't. I'm using this. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
Also, this is quite cool. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

But regardless of an hour here or there, I'm still going to be up all night.
