The Band Toto Asia

Toto was expanding its production facilities abroad and doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the People's Republic of China. The company believed that North America as a growth market for Washlet's bidets and toilets, in contrast to its "base" markets of Japan and China.

Dhaniram Toto recorded Toto words to ensure that the future generation could read the words. However, many words were replaced with foreign ones, such as dui from Bengali for verandah.

Origins

The early history of Toto that began in 1917, mirrored Japan's economic growth. In the beginning of its existence, the company made goods to meet demand for new, modern 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, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding its operations overseas in the late 1980s to profit from new markets and sales opportunities. It launched the Cera Trading Company, importing and selling other manufacturers' products to complement its own range of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy increased sales and expanded the firm’s global market share.

In the 90s, Toto began focusing on research and development for 안전놀이터 water-related appliances. It also upgraded its system of distribution to better serve its customers and boost profits. 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 example is equipped with a powerful tornado flush that is more ecologically friendly than conventional toilets. The company also makes use of recycled water in its production process and has a green purchasing policy. Apart from toilets, Toto produces bathtubs and faucets and hand dryers that are more efficient in energy use than standard models.

The first museum of the company opened in 2015 and features exhibits on Toto's seminal products and their evolution as well as its group companies (all that deal with ceramics), history of plumbing and other products like bath units and, in a different gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum even has a bathroom that features a WASHLET toilet and other toilet-related innovations.

Before the formation of Toto the members of the band 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 performed on albums by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

With a name as evocative as Asia, you would expect the group to be prog queens and kings however, it's actually a fairly simple rock band. The band was initially a four-piece and released two albums that were self-titled in 1979 and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. Although the band have a diverse musical background their biggest hit was in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a huge blockbuster, however it did not come without its own set of issues. Record companies placed the band on the position with the order "give us an album that's a smash or we'll drop you" and the pressure was on them to meet the deadline. Toto was able to do this feat with the help of the smash hit "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery owes a lot to their previous experience in the music industry, as the band members had been session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts prior to forming the group. Their distinctive sound has become the standard for the '80s, and has influenced many contemporary artists.

The album opens with a strong and pounding sound, 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. But the album also contains some slower, more jazzy tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations. This song blends folk and distorted AOR that could appear completely unnatural, but actually works extremely well.

After Toto IV the band's fortunes started to plummet. David Hungate left the band to pursue a solo career, and the band had several drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the group in the wake of drug charges and the band continued as a trio featuring Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Despite the turbulence, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation however, which was not as successful as IV. The band was able 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

The band's third album, Turn Back, marked an reversion to the classic sextet arrangement of previous albums. It was a more powerful, 먹튀검증 consistent effort with an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. Its more punk-rock sound reflected the maturation of the group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's increased virtuosity on drums, and a more mature, confident vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard playing was as well more refined, more precise and less akin to previous efforts.

After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live performance in Amsterdam that was released as a set of two CDs titled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album was released a few months later, and the group embarked on a world-wide tour to promote the album. In this time, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes filled in for Paich, 메이저사이트 순위 and bassist David Hungate left the group to spend more time with his family.

In 1998, Paich and Lukather started searching through old demo tapes and tapes to make a new record featuring songs that had never been recorded before. The album was released in 2001 as a double album titled Then & Now. It was the first album by the band not to feature one single track 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 not a commercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis, which restricted his singing capabilities. In addition, Hungate returned to Nashville and drummer Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck.

Downes along with the other members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened an event in England in the early part of 2006 to discuss the possibility of officially reforming the band. This lineup, minus Howe who was busy with Yes at the time, was renamed 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 Dominique Taplin. The group also had an appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
