The Band Toto Asia Toto was expanding its production facilities abroad and operating in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the People's Republic of China. Toto believed that North America as a growth market for Washlet bidets and toilets, as opposed to its “base” markets of Japan and China. Dhaniram Toto was documenting Toto words to ensure the future generations would be able to read them. Many words were substituted with foreign words. For example dui, which is Bengali for verandah, was being used. Origins Established in 1917, Toto's early years mirrored Japan's economic growth. In the first half of its existence, the company produced goods to meet demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. It had the first tunnel kiln in the nation to produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered automation for production control, allowing greater efficiency and consistency. The company began expanding internationally in the late 1980s to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. The company created the Cera Trading Company to import and distribute other products from other manufacturers in order to expand its line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy helped to increase sales and expand the market share of the company globally. By the 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development of household appliances that are water-related. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve the needs of its customers and increase profits. The company also employed the just-in time approach in its supply chain management and sales program. This resulted in a higher level of customer satisfaction. Toto continues to invent toilet technology. The latest toilet, for instance it has a strong tornado flush that is more eco green than traditional toilets. Toto also makes use of recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green purchasing policy. Toto also manufactures bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers that have higher energy efficiency than conventional models. The first museum of the company was opened in 2015, and it has exhibitions about Toto's iconic products and their evolution as well as its group companies (all related to ceramics) and the history of plumbing and products such as bath units, and in a separate gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum has a bathroom with a WASHLET and other toilet innovations. Before the formation of Toto the band, members of the group did session work for a variety of musicians. Keyboardist David Paich, 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 With a name as evocative as Asia, you would expect the group to be prog kings and queens – but it's actually a fairly simple rock band. The group started out as a quartet and recorded two albums – 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. But even though the band have a diverse musical background, their biggest success was in 1982 with Toto IV. The album was a massive blockbuster, but not without issues. Record companies put the band on position with the order “give us a hit record or we'll sack you” and the pressure was on to meet the deadline. Toto was able to do this feat with the help of the smash hit “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is a result of their prior experience. Before joining the group, the members worked as session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their sonic signature has since become the standard for pop music from the 1980s, and has influenced many contemporary artists. This album starts off hard, with songs such as Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write fantastic AOR songs that slowly build their hooks into you. The album also features jazzier, slower tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations. This song is a mix of folk and distorted AOR which could sound completely wrong but actually is very effective. After Toto IV the band's fortunes started to plummet. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band went through various drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band after drug charges. The band continued with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro. Toto released Isolation despite the turmoil. It was not as popular as IV. However, the band managed to release another chart-topping album in the year 1992 with Kingdom of Desire. This album marked the conclusion of the original Toto lineup and was also the first album featuring a new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up Turn Back, the band's third studio album is an ode to the classic sextet structure and a more consistent, stronger effort that had a more grittier edge. The more edgy sound of the album was indicative of the maturation of group and featured drummer Bobby Kimball's improved proficiency on the drums, as well as a more confident, mature vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's work was more precise, sharper and less cloned earlier efforts. After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live performance in Amsterdam which was released as a set of two CDs called Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album followed just a few months later and the band embarked on an extensive world tour in support of it. In 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 and Lukather started exploring old demo tapes and tapes to make a new album featuring songs that had never been recorded before. It was completed in 2001 as a duo album titled Then & Now. It was the first album in the history of the band that did not include one single track with the word “A” in its title and it included one previously not released track, “Kari-Anne”. By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth record, Old Is New was not a commercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis, which limited his singing ability. In addition, Hungate returned to Nashville as a drummer, and Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck. Downes, Wetton Palmer and Howe, the original members of Asia were in England in the early part of 2006 to discuss the possibility that the band could be reformed. 스포츠토토 사이트 , with the exception of Howe (who was a member of Yes at the time) was later referred to as Toto XIV and toured extensively. In 2010, 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 group also had a guest appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
