The Band Toto Asia Toto was expanding its production facilities abroad and doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China. The company saw North America as a growth market for Washlet's bidets and toilets, in contrast to its “base” markets of Japan and China. Dhaniram Toto was recording Toto words to ensure the future generations would be able to read the words. However, many of the words were being replaced with foreign ones, like dui from Bengali for verandah. Origins Established in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's development. In the beginning of its existence, the company produced goods to meet demand for modern and contemporary urban housing. To accomplish this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the country to make ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered automation to allow production control, allowing greater efficiency and a more consistent production. The company began expanding overseas in the late 1980s in order to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and market other manufacturers' products in order to expand its line of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the company's market share in the world. In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development for water-related household appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of customers and increase profits. The company embraced a just-in time approach to supply chain management and applied the same method for its sales process. This resulted in a greater level of satisfaction with the customer. Toto has continued to innovate on the toilet technology. The most recent toilet features a strong, eco-friendly tornado flush. The company uses recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green purchasing policy. Toto also produces bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers with greater energy efficiency than conventional models. The first Toto museum opened in the year 2015. It has exhibitions on the most iconic products of Toto and their evolution, the group companies (all of which are made from ceramics), the history of plumbing and products such as bath units. In a separate gallery you can view Toto products that are sold across the world. The museum even has a bathroom that features a WASHLET toilet and other toilet-related innovations. Before beginning the formation of Toto members of the group performed session work for various musicians. 토지노 커뮤니티 , drummer Jeff Porcaro and guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather all performed on the album Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs. They also played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher. Discography You would expect a group with a name like Asia to be a prog band however, it's actually a pretty straightforward rock group. The band began as four-piece, and released two albums that were self-titled in 1979 and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a diverse musical background, but their biggest success was in 1982 with Toto IV. The album was a huge blockbuster but not without its difficulties. The record companies put Toto under pressure to release a hit single or they would rescind the album. Luckily for Toto they did with the aid of the smash single “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is due to their previous experiences in the music industry, as the band members were session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts before starting the group. Their sonic trademark has become the standard of '80s music, influencing many contemporary artists. The album starts out hard with songs like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to create great AOR tunes that slowly get into your head. However, the album also includes some slower, more jazzy tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. And the album ends with Great Expectations, a song that mixes folk with distortion AOR and could sound totally wrong, but works amazingly well. After Toto IV The band's fortunes turned to the downside. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band had to go through numerous drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band following drug-related charges. The band continued with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro. Despite the chaos, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation that was not as successful as IV. The band managed to release an album that was chart-topping, Kingdom of Desire, in 1992. This album marked the conclusion of the original Toto lineup and was the first to feature the new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up The album's third, Turn Back, marked an reversion to the classic sextet arrangement of previous albums. It was a more powerful, consistent effort that had an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back reflected the maturation in the group. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing ability to play was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard work was as well more refined, more precise and less akin to earlier efforts. After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live performance in Amsterdam which was released as a set of two CDs entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album was released a few months later, and the group went on a long-distance tour in support of it. During this time keyboardist Greg Phillinganes filled in for Paich, and bassist David Hungate left the group to spend more time with his family. In 1998, Paich & Lukather began exploring old tapes and demos to discover songs that hadn't been recorded prior to. The album was released in 2001 as a double album called Then and Now. It was the band's first album without one single track titled “A”. The album also contained an previously unreleased track titled “Kari-Anne”. By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth album, Old Is New, was a commercial failure and the vocalist Williams suffered from a bad laryngitis condition that limited his singing abilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck. Downes and the other original members of Asia – Wetton, Palmer, and Howe—convened an event in England in the early part of 2006 to discuss the possibility of reforming the band. This lineup, with the exception of Howe (who was busy with Yes at the time) was later referred to as Toto XIV and toured extensively. In 토지노 사이트 , the band reunited for another reunion tour with a slightly different line-up, including guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather, drummer John Pierce, bassist Shannon Forrest, and multi-instrumentalists Warren Ham and Dominique Taplin. The band also had a special appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
