Tokio Hotel stars Bill and Tom Kaulitz react to basketball anthem

Bill and Tom Kaulitz, members of the band Tokio Hotel, have gained renewed attention following the adoption of their hit song ‘Durch den Monsun’ as a motivational anthem for the German women's basketball team. During the home World Cup, the team used the track to celebrate their victory against Belgium, with captain Marie Gülich noting the song's theme of pushing through adversity.

In their podcast ‘Kaulitz Hills’, the brothers expressed their appreciation for the connection, with Bill describing the selection as ‘quite sweet’ and Tom noting that the song appears to have brought the athletes good luck.

Separately, Bill Kaulitz continues to evolve from his origins as a teen rock singer in Magdeburg to a prominent German media personality and fashion icon. Known for his androgynous style and high-profile connections, including friendship with Heidi Klum, he has maintained relevance through television appearances, a successful podcast, and a Netflix documentary series.
