The Band Toto Asia Toto was expanding its production facilities overseas, and doing business in France and Germany, Indonesia, Korea and 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 the words. However, many of the words were being replaced by foreign ones, such as dui from Bengali for verandah. Origins Toto's early history that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic expansion. In the beginning, Toto manufactured goods to meet the demand for modern, new urban housing. To do this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the nation to produce ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered automation for production control, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency. 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 distribute other products of other manufacturers to expand its range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expanded the firm's market share in the world. In the 1990s Toto began to focus on research and development of water-related appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve its customers and increase profit. The company employed the same just-in time approach in its supply chain management and sales program. This resulted in a greater level of customer satisfaction. Toto continued to develop toilet technology. Its latest toilet has an environmentally friendly, powerful tornado flush. The company uses recycled water in its manufacturing process and also has a green purchasing policy. In addition to toilets, Toto produces bathtubs and faucets and hand dryers that are more efficient in terms of energy consumption than typical models. The company's first museum opened in the year 2015 It has exhibits on Toto's seminal products and their development as well as its group companies (all that deal with ceramics) and the history of plumbing and other products like bath units and, in a different gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum also has a bathroom with a washbasin and other toilet innovations. Before forming Toto members of the group did sessions for a variety of musicians. Boz Scaggs' album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich as well as guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather, drummer Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher. 토지노 사이트 With a name like Asia, you would expect the group to be prog kings and queens however, it's actually a pretty straight forward rock group. The band started out as a quartet and recorded two albums: 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a wide musical background, but their biggest success came in 1982 with Toto IV. The album was a major blockbuster, however it did not come without its share of issues. The record companies placed the band under pressure to release a hit single or else they would pull the album. Luckily for Toto they delivered, with the help of the smash hit single “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is the result of their prior experience. Before joining the group, the band members were session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the standard of the '80s, and has influenced many contemporary artists. This album starts off hard, with songs such as Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write amazing AOR songs that slowly work their hooks into your. The album also contains slow, jazzier tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations. This song mixes folk and distortion AOR which could sound completely wrong but actually works extremely well. After Toto IV, the band's fortunes began to wane. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career and the band was through several drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in 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, which was not as successful as IV. However, the band still was able to release a chart-topping album in 1992 with Kingdom of Desire. This album marked Toto's final lineup and the debut of Simon Phillips, a new singer.

The band's repertoire is huge and their catalog has accumulated over a billion streams on streaming services around the world. The band's music has been influential to many generations of fans. Steve Lukather has forged a colorful, deep friendship with Joe Williams that is flourishing professionally all over the world. In 2018, the duo celebrated 40 Tours Around the Sun with a wildly successful global tour. The album with the same title was ranked #5 on Billboard 200.

Line-up The album's third, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet arrangement of previous albums. It was a stronger, more constant effort with an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back reflected the growth of the band. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing virtuosity was reflected by the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard work was also sharper, more complex, and less derivative on previous efforts. After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live show in Amsterdam that was released as a two-CD set entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The studio album came out just a few months later and the band embarked on an extensive world tour to promote it. In this time 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 demo tapes and tapes to make a new record featuring songs that were never recorded before. It was completed in 2001 as a duo album titled Then and Now. It was the first album by the band not to include one single track with the word “A” in the title, and it also contained one previously not released track, “Kari-Anne”. By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth record, Old Is New was an uncommercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis that affected his singing abilities. 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 The original Asia members met in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility that the band could be revived. 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 group also featured a special appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
