Origins

Incorporated in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's development. In the beginning of its existence, the company made products to meet the demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. It had the first tunnel kilns in the country to produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use of automation for production control, which allows for greater efficiency and a more consistent production.

In the late 1980s the company began to expand overseas to take advantage of sales and new markets. It launched the Cera Trading Company, importing and selling other manufacturers' products to complement its own range of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy increased sales and expanded the company's market share in the world.

In the 1990s, Toto began to focus on research and 먹튀검증 - Discover More Here, development for water-related appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better meet the needs of customers and to increase profits. The company used the same just-in-time approach to its supply chain management as well as sales program. This led to a higher degree of customer satisfaction.

Toto continued to develop toilet technology. The latest toilet from the company features a strong, eco-friendly tornado flush.

Apart from toilets, Toto manufactures bathtubs and faucets and hand dryers that are more energy efficient than typical models.

The first museum of the company was opened in 2015 and features exhibits about Toto's iconic products and their evolution, its group companies (all having to do with ceramics), history of plumbing and products like bath units and, in a different gallery, Toto products sold around the world.

Before forming Toto the band, members of the group did sessions 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 Cher.

Discography

With a name as evocative as Asia one would expect the group to be prog queens and kings - but it's actually a fairly straightforward rock band. The group started out as a quartet and released two albums - 1979's self-titled debut, and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. Although the band have a wide range of musical backgrounds, their biggest success was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV.

Toto's musical mastery is due to their previous experience in the music industry, as the band members were session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts before starting the group. Their distinctive sound has become the standard of '80s music, influencing many contemporary artists.

The album opens with a strong and pounding sound, with songs such as Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write amazing AOR songs that slowly build their hooks into your mind.

Line-up

The album's third, Turn Back, marked an reversion to the classic sextet style of the previous albums. It was a more powerful, constant effort with an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. The edgier sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the development of the group. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing virtuosity was reflected by the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more precise, sharper and less cloned on previous performances.

After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live concert in Amsterdam that was released as a two-CD set titled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records.

It was the first album in the history of the band that did not include a single song with the word "A" in its title and it included one previously unreleased 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, which restricted his singing capabilities. Additionally, Hungate returned to Nashville as a drummer, and Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck.

Downes and the other original members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened an event in England in early 2006 to discuss the possibility of officially reforming the band. The lineup, which was minus Howe (who was a member of 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 had a guest appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
