The Band Toto Asia Toto was expanding its production facilities abroad and doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the People's Republic of China. The company believed that North America as a growth market for Washlet's bidets and toilets, in contrast to its “base” markets of Japan and China. Dhaniram Toto was documenting Toto words to ensure that the next generation could comprehend the words. Many words were replaced by foreign words. For example dui, which was Bengali for verandah, was used. Origins Toto's early history 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 was the first tunnel kilns in the country to continuously produce ceramics. It also pioneered automation to allow production control, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency. In the latter half of the 1980s, the company began to expand outwards to profit from sales and new markets. 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 helped increase sales and expanded the firm's market share in the world. In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development for household appliances that use water. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve customers and increase profit. The company also employed the approach of just-in-time in its supply chain management and sales program. This resulted in a higher level of satisfaction with the customer. Toto has continued to innovate with regard to toilet technology. The latest toilet, for instance, has an extremely powerful tornado flush that is more environmentally green than traditional toilets. Toto uses recycled water in its manufacturing process, and has a green buying policy. Apart from toilets, Toto manufactures bathtubs and faucets, as well as hand dryers that are more efficient in terms of energy consumption than standard models. The company's first museum opened in the year 2015, and it has exhibitions about Toto's iconic products and their evolution as well as its group companies (all that deal with ceramics), history of plumbing and other products like bath units and, in a separate gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum has the bathroom equipped with a washbasin and other toilet innovations. Before beginning the formation of Toto members of the group did sessions with 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 performed on albums by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher. Discography With a name like Asia one would think that the group would be prog kings and queens – but it's actually a fairly straightforward rock group. The group was formed 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 diverse musical background, their biggest success came in 1982 with Toto IV. The album was a huge blockbuster, but it was not without its own set of issues. The record companies put the band under pressure to deliver a hit single or they would drop them. Luckily for Toto they delivered, with the aid of the smash single “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is due to their prior experience since the members were session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts prior to forming the group. Their sonic trademark has become the standard of the '80s, and has influenced many contemporary artists. This album starts off hard with songs like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write amazing AOR songs that slowly build their hooks into your. The album also includes some jazzier, slower tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations. This song mixes folk and the distorted AOR that could appear completely unnatural, but actually 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 several drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the group due to drug charges. The band continued with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro. Toto released Isolation despite the turbulence. It wasn't as popular as IV. However, the band still had a successful chart-topping album in the year 1992 with Kingdom of Desire. This album marked the end of Toto's lineup and the debut of Simon Phillips, a new singer. Tours The band has entertained millions of people around the globe, and has sold out shows in Europe, North America and Asia as well as Australia and New Zealand. The band's repertoire is vast and their catalog has amassed over a billion streams on streaming services worldwide. The band's music has inspired numerous generations of fans. Steve Lukather and Joe Williams have formed a strong and vibrant friendship that flourishes professionally on a global scale. In 2018, the duo celebrated 40 years of Tours Around The Sun by a hugely successful global tour. The album that bears the same name was ranked at #5 on the Billboard 200.

Line-up The album's third, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet arrangement of the previous albums. It was a stronger, more consistent effort with an edge that was stronger than Hydra. Its edgier sound was indicative of the maturation of group and featured drummer Bobby Kimball's increased ability on the drums and a more mature, confident vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work was sharper, more intricate and less cloying than earlier efforts. After touring to promote their album, the group recorded their Amsterdam live performance which was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. A new studio album followed shortly after, and the band embarked on an extensive world tour in support of 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 & Lukather began searching through old tapes & demos to discover songs that had never been recorded prior to. The album was released in the form of a double-album called Then And Now in 2001. It was the band's first album that did not contain the single track “A”. The album also contained a previously unreleased track called “Kari-Anne”. By 토토사이트 , Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth album, Old Is New was not a commercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis, which limited his singing ability. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck. Downes along with 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 officially reforming the group. The lineup, which was minus Howe (who was working with Yes at the time) was eventually 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 group also featured a special appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
