The Band Toto Asia

Toto was expanding its production facilities abroad and doing business in France, 메이저사이트 바록가기 Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China. North America was seen as an area of growth for bidet and washlet toilet seats, as opposed its "base" markets in Japan and China.

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

Origins

Toto's early history which began in 1917, mirrored Japan's economic expansion. In the beginning, Toto manufactured goods to meet the demand for modern, brand new urban housing. It had the first tunnel kiln in the nation that could produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, allowing for more efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding overseas in the late 1980s to profit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and market other manufacturers' products in order to complement its own line of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and increased the company's market share in the world.

By the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development for household appliances that are water-related. It also improved its distribution system to better serve customers and increase profit. The company implemented a just-in-time approach to managing its supply chain and applied the same method in its sales program. This resulted in a higher degree of customer satisfaction.

Toto has been able to continue to innovate on the toilet technology. Its latest toilet has an environmentally friendly, powerful tornado flush. The company also uses recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green procurement policy. In addition to toilets Toto manufactures faucets and bathtubs and hand dryers that are more efficient in energy use than conventional models.

The first museum of the company was opened in the year 2015 and features exhibits about Toto's iconic products and their evolution, its group companies (all that deal with ceramics) and the history of plumbing and products like bath units and, in a different gallery, 안전놀이터 Toto products sold around the world. The museum has a bathroom with a washbasin and other toilet innovations.

Before beginning the formation of Toto members of the group performed session work for various musicians. Boz Scaggs album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich and guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather as well as drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and 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 group. The band began as four members and released two albums in 1979, the self-titled debut album and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. Although the band have a wide range of musical backgrounds their biggest hit was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a huge blockbuster, but it was not without its own set of issues. Record companies put the band on the position with the order "give us a hit record or we'll take you off the market" and the pressure was on to meet the deadline. Luckily for Toto they delivered, with the aid of the smash single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experience. Before joining the group, the band members worked as session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the standard of '80s music, influencing 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 you. The album also includes some more jazzy, slower tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations. This song mixes folk and distortion AOR that could sound completely wrong but actually works extremely well.

After Toto IV the band's fortunes started to plummet. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band went through several 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 turmoil, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation that was not as successful as IV. However, the band had a successful 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 is an attempt to return to the classic sextet structure and it was a more consistent, more powerful album with a sharper edge. The more experimental sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the development of the group. Drummer Bobby Kimball's increased ability to play was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more precise, sharper and less cloying than previously recorded efforts.

After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live show in Amsterdam that was released as a set of two CDs entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The studio album came out shortly after, and the group embarked on a world-wide tour in support of it. During this period keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family.

In 1998, Paich and Lukather started looking through old demos and tapes in search of an album that would feature songs that were never recorded before. The album was released in 2001 and released as a double album titled Then & Now. It was the first album in the band's history not to include a single song with the word "A" in its title and it included one previously not released 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 vocalist Williams was suffering from a severe laryngitis condition that limited his singing abilities. Additionally, Hungate returned to Nashville, while drummer 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 the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility of restructuring the band. 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 also featured an appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
