The Band Toto Asia

Toto was expanding production facilities abroad, and doing business in France and Germany, Indonesia, Korea and Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China. North America was seen as a market that would grow for bidet and washlet toilet seats, as opposed its "base" markets in Japan and China.

Dhaniram Toto documented Toto words to ensure that the future generation could read them. Many words were substituted with foreign ones. For instance dui, which was Bengali for verandah, was used.

Origins

Toto's early history that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic expansion. In the first half of its existence, the company produced products to meet the demands of modern and contemporary urban housing. It had the first tunnel kiln in the nation to produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered automation to allow production control, allowing greater efficiency and consistency.

In the late 1980s, the company began expanding overseas in order to take advantage of sales and new markets. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and distribute other products of other manufacturers in order to enhance its own range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the firm's market share in the world.

In the 90s, Toto began focusing on research and development of water-related appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve its customers and increase profit. The company implemented a just-in-time approach to supply chain management and 메이저사이트 순위 used the same method for its sales process. This led to a higher level of satisfaction with the customer.

Toto continues to invent toilet technology. Its latest toilet, for instance, has an extremely powerful tornado flush that is more eco friendly than traditional toilets. The company also uses recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green purchasing policy. Toto also manufactures bathtubs, faucets, and 토지노 사이트 hand dryers with higher energy efficiency than standard models.

The company's first museum opened in 2015 It has exhibits on Toto's most iconic products and their evolution as well as its group companies (all related to ceramics), historical background of plumbing and products like bath units, and in a separate gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum also has a bathroom that includes the WASHLET toilet, as well as other toilet-related innovations.

Before the formation of Toto, members of the band did session work for various musicians. Boz Scaggs album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich and guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather as well as drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also performed on albums 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 queens and kings - but it's actually a fairly simple rock band. The band was initially four-piece, and released two albums: 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a wide musical background, but their greatest success was in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a huge blockbuster, but not without issues. The record companies put the band under pressure to release the top single or they would rescind the album. Toto was able to achieve this feat with the help of the hit song "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery owes a lot to their prior 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 before starting the group. Their sonic trademark has become the standard of 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists.

The album opens up hard with songs like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to create great AOR tunes that slowly creep into your head. The album also contains more jazzy, slower tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations, a song which combines folk and 스포츠토토 사이트 (http://Tongcheng.jingjincloud.cn/home.Php?mod=space&Uid=180593) distortion AOR and 스포츠토토 사이트 should sound completely wrong, but actually works amazingly well.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes took a turn towards the negative. 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 wake of drug charges and the group continued to perform as a trio featuring Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Despite the chaos, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation that was not as successful as IV. However, the band had a successful chart-topping album in 1992, 안전놀이터 Kingdom of Desire. This album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was the first to feature a new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up

The band's third album, Turn Back, marked an reversion to the classic sextet style of previous albums and was a more powerful, constant effort with an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. Its more punk-rock sound was a reflection of the maturation of the group and included drummer Bobby Kimball's increased virtuosity on drums, and a more confident, mature vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work was sharper, more intricate, and less derivative than previously recorded efforts.

After touring to promote their album, the group recorded an Amsterdam live performance that was released by Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. The studio album came out shortly after, and the group embarked on an extensive world tour in support of the album. 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 searching through old tapes & demos to discover songs that had never been recorded prior to. The album was released in 2001 as a double album titled Then & Now. It was the first album by the band without a single song titled "A". The album also included a previously unreleased track titled "Kari-Anne".

By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth record, Old Is New was not a commercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis that restricted his singing capabilities. Additionally, Hungate returned to Nashville and drummer Leland Sklar was 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 officially restructuring the band. This lineup, minus Howe who was occupied 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 band featured a special guest appearance from singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
