The Band Toto Asia

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

Dhaniram Toto documented Toto words to ensure that the future generation could be able to read them. Many words were replaced with foreign words. For example dui, which was Bengali for verandah, was being used.

Origins

Established in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's growth. In the beginning of its existence, the company manufactured goods to meet demand for new, modern urban housing. To do this, it used the first tunnel kiln in the nation to produce ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, which allows for more efficiency and consistency.

In the late 1980s, the company began to expand overseas to profit from sales and new markets. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and marketing other products from other manufacturers to complement its own range of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped to increase sales and expand the company's market share in the world.

In the 1990s Toto began focusing on research and development for water-related appliances. It also redesigned its system of distribution to better serve customers and increase profit. The company used the same just-in time approach in its supply chain management as well as sales program. This resulted in a greater level customer satisfaction.

Toto has been able to continue to innovate with regard to toilet technology. Its latest toilet, for example is equipped with a strong tornado flush that is more environmentally friendly than traditional toilets. The company uses recycled water for its manufacturing process and also has a green purchasing policy. Toto also manufactures bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers that have higher energy efficiency than standard models.

The first Toto museum opened in 2015. It has exhibitions on the most iconic products of Toto and their evolution, the group companies (all of which are made from ceramics) as well as the history of plumbing, and other products like bath units. In an additional gallery, you can see Toto products that are sold across the world. The museum even has a bathroom that features a WASHLET toilet as well as other toilet-related innovations.

Before the formation of Toto members of the group performed session work for various 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 appeared on records by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and 메이저사이트 바록가기 (web page) Cher.

Discography

You might expect a band with a name such as Asia to be a prog band, but it is actually a fairly straight forward rock outfit. The band started out as a group and recorded two albums - 1979's self titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. But even though the band have a wide range of musical backgrounds, their biggest success was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a major blockbuster, however it did not come without its share of problems. Record companies put the band on spot with the ultimatum "give us an album that is a success or we'll take you off the market" and the pressure was on them to meet the deadline. Luckily for Toto they did and they did it with the assistance of the smash single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is the result of their previous experience. Before forming the group, the band members worked as session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the standard of 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists.

The album begins hard with tracks like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write fantastic AOR tunes that slowly get into your head. The album also contains slow, jazzier tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations. This song blends folk and distortion AOR, which should seem like a complete blunder, but is very effective.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes turned to the downside. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band went through numerous drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the group in the 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, 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 conclusion of the original Toto lineup and 안전놀이터 was the first to feature a new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album is an ode to the classic sextet structure and a more consistent, stronger effort with a harder edge. Its edgier sound was indicative of the maturation of group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's greater proficiency on the drums, as well as an improved, mature vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work was sharper, more intricate and less cloying than earlier recordings.

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live concert in Amsterdam which was released as a set of two CDs titled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The group released a new studio album a few months later, and went on a world tour to promote 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 and Lukather started searching through old tapes and demos for a new album featuring songs that had never been recorded before. The album was released as a double album titled Then and Now in 2001. It was the first album in the band's history that did not include any single song that had the word "A" in the title, and it also contained one previously unreleased track, "Kari-Anne".

By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth album, Old Is New, was a commercial failure and the vocalist Williams suffered from a bad laryngitis condition which hampered his singing. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

Downes along with the other members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened an event in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility of reforming the group. This lineup, minus Howe (who was busy with Yes at the time) was later referred to 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 band featured a special guest appearance from singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
