The Band Toto Asia

Toto was expanding its production facilities overseas, and doing business in France and Germany, Indonesia, Korea and Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China. North America was seen as an area of growth for Washlet toilets and bidet seats, as opposed its "base" markets in Japan and China.

Dhaniram Toto was recording Toto words to ensure the next generation would be able to read the words. Many words were replaced with foreign words. For instance dui, which was Bengali for verandah was being used.

Origins

Established in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's development. In the beginning of its existence, the company produced products to meet the demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. To accomplish this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the nation to produce ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, allowing for greater efficiency and consistency.

In the latter half of the 1980s, the company began to expand overseas to profit from sales and new markets. The company created the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other manufacturers' products in order to complement its own range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and increased the firm's market share in the world.

In the late 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development for household appliances that are water-related. It also upgraded its system of distribution to better serve its customers and improve profit. The company also employed the just-in-time approach to its supply chain management and sales program. This resulted in a higher degree of customer satisfaction.

Toto continues to invent toilet technology. The latest toilet, for instance is equipped with a strong tornado flush that is more environmentally friendly than traditional toilets. Toto also makes use of recycled water in its production process and has a green purchasing policy. In addition to toilets Toto produces bathtubs and faucets and hand dryers that are more efficient in energy use than standard models.

The company's first museum opened in 2015 and features exhibits on Toto's seminal products and their evolution and its group companies (all related to ceramics) as well as the historical background of plumbing and products like bath units and, in a different 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 members of the group did sessions for many 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 Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

With a name like Asia you'd expect the group to be prog queens and kings - but it's actually a fairly simple rock group. The group was formed as four members and released two albums that were self-titled in 1979 and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The band 토토사이트 has a varied musical background, but their greatest success came in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a major 토토사이트 blockbuster, but not without its share of problems. Record companies put the band on place with the directive "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 with the help from the smash hit "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery owes a lot to their prior experience, as the band members were session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts before starting the group. Their sonic trademark has become the standard for 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists.

The album begins hard with tracks like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to create great AOR songs that slowly sink into your head. The album also contains slow, jazzier tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album ends with Great Expectations. This song blends folk and distorted AOR which could seem like a complete blunder, but works extremely well.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes changed towards the negative. David Hungate left the band to pursue a solo career and the band had a variety of drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in the after he was charged with drug abuse. the band continued as a trio with Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Despite the turmoil, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation that was not as successful as IV. However, the band was able to release a chart-topping album in the year 1992 with Kingdom of Desire.

Line-up

The band's third album, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet arrangement of the previous albums. It was a more powerful, 먹튀검증 사이트 consistent effort that had an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back reflected the maturation in the group. Drummer Bobby Kimball's increased proficiency was evident in the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more precise, sharper, and less derivative than on previous efforts.

After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live show in Amsterdam which was released as a set of two CDs called Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The group released a brand new studio album a few months after and embarked on a world tour to support 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 and Lukather started exploring old tapes and demos for an album that would feature songs that were never recorded before. It was completed as a double album titled Then & Now in 2001. It was the band's first album that did not contain a single song titled "A". The album also included a previously unreleased track called "Kari-Anne".

By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The fourth album, Old Is New, was a commercial failure and the vocalist Williams was suffering from a serious laryngitis infection that limited his singing abilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

Downes, Wetton Palmer and Howe, the founding members of Asia were in England early in 2006 to discuss the possibility that the band could be revived. This lineup, minus Howe (who was busy with Yes at the time), eventually became known 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 band also featured the appearance of singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
