The Band Toto Asia Toto was expanding its production facilities abroad and was doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the People's Republic of China. North America was seen as an area of growth for bidet and washlet toilet seats, as opposed its “base” markets in Japan and China. Dhaniram Toto was documenting Toto words to ensure the future generations could comprehend them. Many words were replaced with foreign ones. For example dui, which is Bengali for verandah was being used. Origins The company was founded in 1917 and its early years mirrored Japan's economic growth. In the beginning, Toto manufactured products to meet the growing demand for modern, brand new urban housing. To accomplish this, it used the first tunnel kiln in the country to produce ceramics in a continuous flow. It also pioneered automation for production control, which allows for greater efficiency and a more consistent production. 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 market other manufacturers' products in order to expand its line of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped to increase sales and expand the market share of the company globally. In the 90s, Toto began to focus on research and development of water-related appliances. It also upgraded its system of distribution to better serve its customers and improve profit. The company implemented a just-in-time method of managing supply chains and used the same approach for its sales process. This resulted in a higher level of customer satisfaction. Toto has been able to continue to innovate on the toilet technology. 스포츠토토 has a strong, eco-friendly tornado flush. Toto uses recycled water in its manufacturing process and also has a green purchasing policy. In addition to toilets, Toto manufactures faucets and bathtubs, as well as hand dryers that are more efficient in terms of energy consumption than typical models. The first Toto museum opened in the year 2015. It hosts exhibits on Toto's most famous products, their evolution, the group companies (all of which are made from ceramics) as well as the history of plumbing, and products such as bath units. In an additional gallery, you will find Toto products sold all over. The museum even includes a bathroom with the WASHLET toilet, as well as other toilet-related innovations. Before the formation of Toto the band, members of the band did session work for a variety of 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 played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher. Discography With a name as evocative as Asia you'd think that the group would be prog kings and queens – but it's actually a pretty straight forward rock band. The band started out as a quartet, and they recorded two albums: 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. However, even though the group have a diverse musical background their biggest breakthrough was in 1982 with Toto IV. The album was a major blockbuster, but not without its own set of issues. The record companies put the band under pressure to release an album that was a success or they would rescind the album. Toto was able achieve this with the help from the hit song “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experiences. Before joining the group, the band members worked as session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the standard of '80s music, influencing many contemporary artists. The album opens up hard with songs such as Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write fantastic AOR tunes that slowly creep into your head. But the album also contains some slower, more jazzy tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations, a song which combines folk and distortion AOR and could sound totally wrong, but is incredibly effective. After Toto IV, the band's fortunes began to wane. 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 group in the after he was charged with drug abuse. the band continued as a trio, which included Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather. Despite the turmoil, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation that was not as successful as IV. However, the group had a successful 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 the new singer, Simon Phillips.

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 that had a more grittier edge. The edgier sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the maturation in the group. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing proficiency was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard work was as well more refined, more precise and less akin to previous recordings. After touring to promote their album, the group recorded the band's Amsterdam live concert that was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set entitled Falling In Between. A new studio album followed shortly after, and the group went on a world-wide 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 had never been recorded before. The album was released as a double album titled Then And Now in 2001. It was the band's first album without the single track “A”. The album also included a previously unreleased track called “Kari-Anne”. By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth album, Old Is New, was a commercial failure, and singer Williams was suffering from a serious laryngitis infection which hampered his singing. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck. Downes and the other members of Asia—Wetton, Palmer, and Howe—convened a meeting in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility of formally restructuring the band. This lineup, minus Howe (who was working with 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 featured a special guest appearance from singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
