The Band Toto Asia
Toto was expanding its production facilities in the overseas market 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 bidets and toilets, as opposed to its "base" markets of Japan and China.
Dhaniram Toto was documenting Toto words to ensure that the future generations could comprehend the words. However, many words were replaced with foreign ones, like dui, which is Bengali for verandah.
Origins
The early history of Toto, which began in 1917, mirrored Japan's rapid economic expansion. In the first half of 1917, Toto manufactured products to meet the demands for modern, brand new urban housing. It used the first tunnel kilns in the country to produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, allowing for greater efficiency and consistency.
The company began expanding its operations overseas in the late 1980s to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. The company founded the Cera Trading Company to import and distribute other products of other manufacturers in order to complement its own line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the market share of the company globally.
In the late 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development of household appliances that are water-related. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of customers and boost profits. The company embraced a just-in time approach to supply chain management and applied the same approach for its sales process. This resulted in a higher degree of customer satisfaction.
Toto continues to invent with regard to toilet technology. Its latest toilet has an environmentally friendly, powerful tornado flush. The company makes use of recycled water in its manufacturing process and also has a green purchasing policy. Apart from toilets, Toto produces bathtubs and faucets, as well as hand dryers that are more energy efficient than conventional models.
The first Toto museum opened in the year 2015. It has exhibitions on the most iconic products of Toto as well as their evolution, group companies (all of which are made of ceramics), the history of plumbing and even bath units. In a separate gallery you can see Toto products that are sold throughout. The museum also has bathrooms with a WASHLET as well as other toilet innovations.
Before forming Toto the band, members of the group did session work for a variety of musicians. Boz Scaggs' album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich as well as guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather, drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also appeared on records by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.
Discography
It is common for a group with a name like Asia to be a prog rock group however, it's actually a relatively straightforward rock group. The group was formed as a four-piece and released two albums: 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. However, even though the group have a wide range of musical backgrounds, their biggest success was in 1982 with Toto IV.
The album was a huge blockbuster, but it was not without its issues. Record companies put the band on spot with the ultimatum "give us an album that is a success or we'll drop you" and the pressure was on to meet the deadline. Luckily for Toto they delivered, with the help of the smash hit single "Africa."
Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experience. Before joining the group, the band members worked as session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their sonic trademark has become the standard for the '80s, and has influenced many contemporary artists.
The album begins with a hefty dose of hard rock, with songs such as Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write great AOR songs that slowly get their hooks into you. However, the album also includes some more mellow, jazzy tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. And the album ends with Great Expectations, a song that mixes folk with distortion AOR and should sound like a complete flop, but works amazingly well.
After Toto IV the band's fortunes started to plummet. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band was through various drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in the wake of drug charges and the group continued to perform as a trio with Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.
Toto released Isolation despite the turmoil. It was not as well-liked as IV. However, the group had a successful chart-topping album in the year 1992 with Kingdom of Desire. The album was the last of Toto's lineup and the debut of Simon Phillips, a new vocalist.

Line-up
The album's third, Turn Back,
토토사이트 꽁머니 marked an reversion to the classic sextet arrangement of previous albums and was a stronger, more constant effort with an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. Its edgier sound reflected the maturation of the group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's greater virtuosity on drums, and a more mature, confident vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard work was also sharper, more complex and

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live show in Amsterdam that 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 group went on a long-distance tour in support of it. 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 exploring old tapes and demos for a new album featuring songs that were never recorded before. It was completed in the form of a double-album called Then and Now in 2001. It was the first album in the band's history not to include any single song that had 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 vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis, which affected his singing abilities. Additionally, Hungate returned to Nashville, while drummer 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 early 2006 to discuss the possibility of formally reforming the band. This lineup, with the exception of 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.
