The Band Toto Asia

Toto expanded 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 a market that would grow for bidet and washlet toilet seats, in contrast to its "base" markets in Japan and China.

Dhaniram Toto recorded Toto words so that the next generation could be able to read them. However, many of the words were being replaced with foreign ones, such as dui, which is Bengali for verandah.

Origins

The early history of Toto, which began in 1917, mirrored Japan's rapid economic growth. In the first half of its existence, the company produced products to meet the demands of modern and contemporary urban housing. To do this, it used the first tunnel kiln in the nation to make ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation for production control, allowing greater efficiency and a more consistent production.

The company began expanding overseas in the latter part of the 1980s to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. The company founded the Cera Trading Company to import and market other products of other manufacturers to expand its line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and increased the company's market share in the world.

In the 1990s Toto began to focus on research and development for water-related appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve customers and boost profits. The company embraced a just-in time approach to managing its supply chain and used the same method in its sales program. This resulted in a higher level customer satisfaction.

Toto continued to innovate toilet technology. Its latest toilet has a strong, eco-friendly tornado flush. Toto uses recycled water for its manufacturing process and also has a green purchasing policy. In addition to toilets Toto manufactures faucets and bathtubs, as well as hand dryers that are more energy efficient than standard models.

The first Toto museum opened in the year 2015. It has exhibitions on Toto’s seminal products as well as their evolution, group companies (all of which are ceramics) and the history of plumbing, and even bath units. In an additional gallery, you can see Toto products that are sold across the world. The museum houses bathrooms with a WASHLET as well as other toilet innovations.

Before forming Toto, members of the band did sessions for many musicians. Keyboardist David Paich, 메이저사이트 추천 drummer Jeff Porcaro and guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather all performed on the album Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs. They also appeared on records by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

You would expect a group with a name like Asia to be a prog rock group, 토토사이트 추천 but it is actually a relatively straightforward rock group. The group was formed as four-piece, and released two albums in 1979, the self-titled debut album and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a diverse musical background, but their biggest success came in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a huge blockbuster, however it did not come without its own set of issues. Record companies put the band on spot with the ultimatum "give us an album that is a success or we'll sack you" and the pressure was on to meet the deadline. Luckily for Toto, they did, with the help of the smash hit single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experiences. Before joining the group, the members were session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their sonic trademark has become the standard for 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists.

The album begins with a hefty dose of hard rock with tracks like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write amazing AOR songs that slowly build 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, a song that combines folk with distorted AOR and sounds totally wrong, but works amazingly well.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes took a turn for the worse. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band had to go through numerous drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band after drug charges. The band continued to play with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro.

Despite the chaos, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation, which was not as successful as IV. However, the band still had a successful chart-topping album in 1992, 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

The album's third, Turn Back, marked a return to the classic sextet style of previous albums. It was a more ferocious, consistent effort that had a harder edge than Hydra. The edgier sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the development of the group. Bobby Kimball's growing ability to play was evident in the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard work was also sharper, more complex and less akin to earlier 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 group released their new studio album a few months later, and went on a world tour to support the album. During 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 searching through old demos and tapes in search of a new album featuring songs that were never recorded before. It was completed in 2001 as a duo album titled Then & Now. 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 record, Old Is New was not a commercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis, which limited his singing ability. Hungate also returned to Nashville and 안전놀이터 Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

Downes along with the other original 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 group. The lineup, with the exception of 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 also featured the appearance of singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
