The Band Toto Asia

Toto was expanding production facilities overseas, and was doing business in France and Germany, Indonesia, Korea and Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China. North America was seen as an opportunity to grow for Washlet toilets and bidet seats, as opposed its "base" markets in Japan and China.

Dhaniram Toto documented Toto words to ensure that the future generation could understand the words. However, many words were being replaced by foreign ones, like dui, which is Bengali for verandah.

Origins

Established in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's growth. In the early years of its existence, the company made products to meet the demand for modern and contemporary urban housing. It was the first tunnel kiln in the country that could produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use automation to control production, allowing for greater efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding internationally in the late 1980s to profit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company founded the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other products of other manufacturers in order to enhance its own line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the market share of the company globally.

In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis to research and development of water-related household appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve its customers and boost profits. The company also employed the approach of just-in-time in its supply chain management and sales program. This led to a higher level of satisfaction of customers.

Toto continues to invent on the toilet technology. The latest toilet from the company features an environmentally friendly, powerful tornado flush.

They also performed on albums by Steely Don, Seals and 메이저사이트 (Toto-site89815.Actoblog.com) Crofts and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

With a name as evocative as Asia you'd expect the group to be prog kings and queens but they're actually a fairly straightforward rock group. The group was formed as a four-piece and released two albums: 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. However, even though the group have a variety of musical backgrounds their biggest breakthrough was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a major blockbuster but not without its issues. The record companies placed the band under pressure to release the top single or they would rescind them. Toto was able to achieve this with the help from the smash hit "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is due to their previous experiences in the music industry, as the band 먹튀검증 사이트 토지노 커뮤니티 (go directly to Mysticwiki) members were session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts prior to forming the group. Their distinctive sound has since become the standard for '80s pop, and has influenced many contemporary artists.

The album opens with a strong and pounding sound with tracks like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write great AOR songs that slowly work their hooks into your mind. But the album also contains some slower, more jazzy tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. The album ends with Great Expectations. This song mixes folk and distortion AOR which could seem like a complete blunder, but works very well.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes changed towards the negative. David Hungate left the band to focus on his solo career. The band had a variety of drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the group in the wake of drug charges and the band continued as a trio featuring Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Line-up

The album's third, Turn Back, marked a return to the classic sextet style of previous albums and was a more ferocious, consistent effort that had an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back reflected the growth of the band. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing ability to play was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard work was as well more refined, more precise, and less derivative on previous recordings.

After touring to promote their album, the band recorded the band's Amsterdam live show that was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. The studio album came out a few months later, and the group embarked on a long-distance 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 looking through old demo tapes and tapes to make a new album featuring songs that were never recorded before. The album was released in 2001 as a duo album titled Then and Now.
