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 saw North America as a growth market for Washlet's bidets and toilets, as opposed to its "base" markets of Japan and China.

Dhaniram Toto was documenting Toto words to ensure the future generations could read the words. However, many of the words were replaced with foreign ones, such as dui, which is Bengali for verandah.

Origins

Toto's early history that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic growth. In the first half of its existence, the company produced goods to meet demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. It was the first tunnel kiln in the nation to continuously produce ceramics. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding overseas in the late 1980s in order to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other products from other manufacturers to complement its own line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the firm's global market share.

By the 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development of household appliances that use water. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of customers and to increase profits. The company adopted a just-in-time approach to managing its supply chain, and it used the same approach in its sales strategy. This resulted in a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Toto continued to innovate toilet technology. Its most recent toilet, for instance is equipped with an extremely powerful tornado flush that is more eco friendly than conventional toilets. The company also makes use of recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green purchasing policy. Toto also manufactures faucets, bathtubs and hand dryers that have higher energy efficiency than conventional models.

The first Toto museum opened in the year 2015. It hosts exhibits on the most iconic products of Toto and their evolution, the group companies (all of which are ceramics) as well as the history of plumbing, and even bath units. In an additional gallery, you will find Toto products sold all over. The museum even has a bathroom that includes the WASHLET toilet, as well as other toilet-related innovations.

Before forming Toto members of the group did session work for various musicians. Keyboardist David Paich, drummer Jeff Porcaro and guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather all played on the album Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs. They also performed on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

With a name as evocative as Asia one would expect the group to be prog queens and kings but they're actually a pretty straight forward rock group. The group was formed as a four-piece and released two albums that were self-titled in 1979 and 메이저사이트 1980's Armed to the Teeth. However, even though the group have a wide range of musical backgrounds their biggest breakthrough was in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a huge blockbuster, but it was not without its share of issues. Record companies placed the band on the spot with the ultimatum "give us a hit record or we'll drop you" and the pressure was on to deliver. Luckily for Toto they did with the assistance of the smash single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is a result of their prior experience, as the band members had been session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts before starting the group. Their distinctive sound has since become the standard for pop music from the 1980s, and has influenced many modern artists.

The album starts out hard with songs like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write great AOR tunes that slowly get into your head. The album also has some more mellow, jazzy tracks, like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations, a song that mixes folk with distorted AOR and sounds like a complete flop, but works amazingly well.

After Toto IV The band's fortunes changed for the worse. David Hungate left the band to pursue a solo career. The band had a variety of drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band after drug charges. The band continued with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro.

Despite the turmoil, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation however, which was not as successful as IV. The group managed to release a chart-topping album, Kingdom of Desire, in 1992. This album marked the end of Toto's lineup and the debut of Simon Phillips, a new singer.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album it was a return to a classic sextet format, and an even more consistent and powerful effort with a harder edge. The edgier sound of Turn Back reflected the development of the group. Bobby Kimball's growing virtuosity was reflected by the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard playing was also more sophisticated, sharper and less akin to earlier efforts.

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live show in Amsterdam which was released as a set of two CDs entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The studio album came out shortly after, and the group went on an extensive world tour in support of the album. During this period, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family.

In 1998, Paich and Lukather started looking through old demo tapes and tapes to make a new album featuring songs that had never been recorded before. It was completed as a double album titled Then And Now in 2001. It was the first album in the history of the band that did not include a single song with the word "A" in its title. It also included one previously unreleased track, "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 case of laryngitis which limited his singing capabilities. In addition, Hungate returned to Nashville as a drummer, and Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck.

Downes and the other original members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened a meeting in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility of officially reforming the group. The lineup, with the exception of Howe who was occupied with Yes at the time, became Toto XIV. They 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 첫가입 토토 꽁머니 (social-lyft.com) Dominique Taplin. The band also had an appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
