The Band Toto Asia
Toto was expanding production facilities overseas, and doing business in France and Germany, Indonesia, Korea and 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 would be able to read the words. However, many words were being replaced by foreign ones, like dui, which is Bengali for verandah.
Origins
Toto's early history that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic expansion. In the early years of its existence, the company made goods to meet demand
토토사이트 꽁머니 for modern, contemporary urban housing. To accomplish this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the nation to make ceramics in a continuous flow. It also pioneered automation for production control, which helps to increase efficiency and a more consistent production.
In the latter half of the 1980s, the company began to expand outwards to take advantage of sales and new markets. The company founded the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other products of other manufacturers in order to enhance its own range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and increased the firm's market share.
In the late 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development of household appliances that are water-related. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of its customers and boost profits. The company employed the same just-in time approach in its supply chain management and sales program. This resulted in a greater degree of customer satisfaction.
Toto continues to invent in the toilet technology. Its most recent toilet, for instance is equipped with a strong 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 procurement policy. Toto also manufactures bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers with greater energy efficiency than conventional models.
The first museum of the company opened in the year 2015 It has exhibits on Toto's most iconic products and their evolution and its group companies (all related to ceramics) as well as the historical background of plumbing and products such as bath units and, in a separate gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum even includes a bathroom with a WASHLET toilet and other toilet-related innovations.
Before the formation of Toto members of the group performed sessions for a variety of musicians. Boz Scaggs' album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich and guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather, drummer Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and

Discography
You would expect a group with a name like Asia to be a prog rock group, but it is actually a pretty straightforward rock outfit. The group started out as a quartet, and they recorded two albums - 1979's self-titled debut album and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. But even though the band have a diverse musical background their biggest hit came in 1982 with Toto IV.
The album was a huge blockbuster, but not without issues. Record companies put the band on the place with the directive "give us an album that is a success or we'll sack you" and the pressure was on them to give it. Luckily for Toto they delivered and they did it with the help of the smash hit single "Africa."
Toto's musical mastery is a result of their prior experience since the members were session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts before starting the group. Their sonic signature has become the norm for '80s pop, and has influenced many contemporary artists.
The album begins with a hefty dose of hard rock with songs like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write great AOR songs that slowly get their hooks into your. However, the album also includes some slower, more jazzy tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. And the album ends with Great Expectations, a song which combines folk and distorted AOR and sounds totally wrong, but is incredibly effective.
After Toto IV, the band's fortunes turned to the downside. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career and the band had to go through numerous drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in aftermath of drug-related charges. However, the band continued as a trio, which included Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.
Toto released Isolation despite the turmoil. It wasn't as well-liked as IV. However, the group had a successful chart-topping album in the year 1992 with Kingdom of Desire. The album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was the first album to feature a new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up
Turn Back, the band's third studio album, was an ode to the classic sextet format and it was a more consistent, more powerful album with a sharper edge. The more edgy sound of the album reflected the maturation of the group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's improved proficiency on the drums, as well as a more confident, mature vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more refined, sharper, and less derivative than on previous recordings.
After touring to promote their album, the group recorded their Amsterdam live show that was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set entitled Falling In Between. A new studio album was released just a few months later and the band embarked 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 find songs that hadn't been recorded prior to. It was released as a double-album titled Then & Now in 2001. It was the band's first album that did not contain 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 an uncommercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis that restricted his singing capabilities. 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

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 an appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
