Once again, DCist Three Stars alum Hello Tokyo has invaded network television. Back in February, their single “Radio” was chosen by Animal Planet as the theme song to a mini series on horseback riding called “Horse Power,” with several of their other songs used throughout the rest of the show. Now MTV has noticed this local talent, featuring their song “Kiss Me Goodbye” on the premiere episode of The Real World: Key West. Fellow District rockers, Army of Me, were also featured (with their track “Put Me in a Photograph”). Their sound truly captured the heartbreak and emotion as Svetlana parted ways with her long time boyfriend to go live with 6 strangers and see what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real. A second Hello Tokyo song, “Buy Your Time,” can be heard in the 4th, most recent episode.

With MTV’s reality TV crosshairs on the D.C. music scene, we can only wonder when they will place us in the spotlight, end all the guessing games and actually film a Real World in the District. While the answer to that million dollar question might not be in the near future, in the meantime you can still keep up with Kat and the crew, as they have also been invited to be a part of the Studio D project, presented by Ford Fusion and the Susan G Komen Foundation. It will be in the D.C. area on May 6th and 7th at Tysons Corner. Hello Tokyo has a new CD in the works entitled Don’t Cry In Public, due out this spring.
