The Band Toto Asia
Toto was expanding its production facilities in the overseas market and was doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China. The company saw North America as a growth market for Washlet bidet seats and toilets, as opposed to its "base" markets of Japan and China.
Dhaniram Toto was recording Toto words to ensure that the next generation would be able to read the words. Many words were replaced with foreign ones. For instance dui, which is Bengali for verandah, was being used.
Origins
The early history of Toto, which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic expansion. In the first half of 1917, Toto made products to meet the demands for modern, brand new urban housing. It had the first tunnel kiln in the country that could produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use automation to control production, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency.
The company began expanding internationally in the latter part of the 1980s to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and marketing other products of manufacturers to complement its own lines of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy increased sales and expanded the company's market share in the world.
In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development of water-related household appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better meet the needs of its customers and boost profits. The company employed the same just-in time approach in its supply chain management as well as sales program. This resulted in a greater level of satisfaction of customers.
Toto continued to innovate toilet technology. The latest toilet from the company features a strong, eco-friendly tornado flush. The company makes use of recycled water for its manufacturing process and has a green purchasing policy. In addition to toilets Toto produces bathtubs and faucets, as well as hand dryers that are more energy efficient than standard models.
The first Toto museum opened in 2015. It hosts exhibits on the most iconic products of Toto, their evolution, the group companies (all of which are made from ceramics), the history of plumbing, and even bath units. In an additional gallery, you will find Toto products that are sold across the world. The museum has bathrooms with a WASHLET as well as other toilet innovations.
Before the formation of Toto the band, members of the group performed 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 played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts,

Discography
It is common for a group with a name like Asia to be a prog rock group, but it is actually a relatively straightforward rock group. The group was formed as a four-piece and released two albums that were self-titled in 1979 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 but not without its difficulties. The record companies placed Toto under pressure to deliver the top single or else they would pull the album. Luckily for Toto, they did and they did it with the help of the smash hit single "Africa."
Toto's musical mastery is a result of 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 distinctive sound has become the norm for pop music from the 1980s, and has influenced many contemporary artists.
The album starts out hard with songs such as Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write great AOR tunes that slowly creep into your head. But the album also contains some more mellow, jazzy tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album ends with Great Expectations. This song mixes folk and distortion AOR, which should 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 a variety of drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band after drug charges. The band continued with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro.
Despite the turbulence, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation however, which was not as successful as IV. However, the group managed to release another chart-topping album in 1992, Kingdom of Desire. This album marked the end of Toto's lineup and the debut of Simon Phillips, a new vocalist.

Line-up
Turn Back, the band's third studio album,
토토사이트 추천 (
Wx.abcvote.Cn) was an ode to the classic sextet format, and an even more consistent and powerful effort that had a more grittier edge. The more edgy sound of the album reflected the maturation of the group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's improved ability on the drums and an improved, mature vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work was more refined, sharper and less cloying than previously recorded performances.
After touring to promote their album, the band recorded an Amsterdam live performance which was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. The studio album came out shortly after, and the group embarked on a world-wide tour in support of the album. 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 album featuring songs that had never been recorded before. The album was released in 2001 as a double album called Then and Now. It was the first album in the band's history not to include one single track with the word "A" in the title, and it also contained one previously not released track, "Kari-Anne".
