Despite the long line, fatigue and rain, fans of the group did not abandoned their attempt to share this moment, where tears and joy reflected in the faces of girls who did not give up to stand by their idols.

Some followers, after receiving the autograph, broke into tears, ensuring that the signature stamped on their records were their greatest treasure.

During the waiting followers chanted the themes of the band to be heard by the sound of the local establishment, where dozens of onlookers watched the girls, who delivered some desperate kisses and gifts to the Germans.

Balloons, dolls and some letters were part of the gifts the artists received, who promoted thier album “Scream” in Mexico.

According to organizers, only two thousand young people received Tokio Hotel autographs as the promotion noted that number of copies sold would be eligible for signatures.

Most were teenagers, ranging between 15 and 18 years, however there was no shortage of parents who lost their sentences and jumped on the stage to greet and receive autographs from Tokio Hotel.

After their performance this Saturday at a concert organised by a radio station they will travel to Los Angeles, California, to continue with their work commitments.
