The Band Toto Asia

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

Dhaniram Toto was recording Toto words to ensure that the next generation could read them. However, many of the words were being replaced with foreign words, such as dui, which is Bengali for verandah.

Origins

Incorporated in 1917, Toto's early years mirrored Japan's economic growth. In the beginning, Toto produced goods to meet the demand for modern, 먹튀검증 사이트 (official Zsluoping blog) new urban housing. To achieve this, it employed the country's first tunnel kiln to produce ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered automation for 안전놀이터 추천 (visit this web-site) production control, which helps to increase efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding its operations overseas in the late 1980s in order to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and market other manufacturers' products in order to expand 토토사이트 꽁머니 (visit this web-site) its line of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the market share of the company globally.

In the 1990s, Toto began to concentrate on research and development for water-related appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve customers and increase profit. The company adopted a just-in-time approach to managing its supply chain and used the same method for its sales process. This resulted in a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Toto continues to invent toilet technology. The most recent toilet features an environmentally friendly, powerful tornado flush. The company also uses recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green procurement policy. Apart from toilets, Toto manufactures faucets and bathtubs and hand dryers that are more efficient in energy use than conventional models.

The first Toto museum opened in 2015. It has exhibitions on Toto’s seminal products as well as their evolution, group companies (all of which are made from ceramics), the history of plumbing and even bath units. In another gallery, visitors will find Toto products sold all over. The museum also has a bathroom that features a WASHLET toilet as well as other toilet-related innovations.

Before the formation of Toto members of the group did session work for various musicians. Keyboardist David Paich, drummer Jeff Porcaro and guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather all played on the album Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs. They also performed on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

With a name as evocative as Asia one would think that the group would be prog kings and queens however, it's actually a fairly simple rock group. The band started out as a quartet, and they released two albums - 1979's self titled debut, and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a wide musical background, but their greatest success came in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a major blockbuster, but it was not without its difficulties. The record companies put Toto under pressure to deliver the top single or they would rescind the album. Luckily for Toto they delivered, with the assistance of the smash single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is due to their previous experiences since the members had been session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts before starting the group. Their sonic trademark has become the standard of the '80s, and has influenced many contemporary artists.

The album starts out hard with songs such as Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to create great AOR tunes that slowly get into your head. The album also features slow, jazzier tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album ends with Great Expectations. This song mixes folk and distorted AOR which could seem like a complete blunder, but is very effective.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes turned to the downside. David Hungate left the band to focus on his solo career and the band was dominated by drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the group due to drug charges. The band remained with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro.

Toto released Isolation despite the turmoil. It was not as popular as IV. However, the band still had a successful chart-topping album in 1992, Kingdom of Desire. The album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was also the first to feature the new singer, Simon Phillips.

Tours

The band has performed all over the world to a global audience of millions, and has sold-out shows across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia and New Zealand. The repertoire of the band is extensive and their catalogue has accumulated more than a billion streams on streaming services around the world. The band's music has inspired numerous generations of fans.

Steve Lukather and Joe Williams have forged a deep colorful friendship that is thriving professionally on a global scale. In 2018 the duo celebrated their 40th anniversary of Tours Around the Sun with a wildly successful global tour. The album that bears the same name reached #5 on Billboard 200. The latest tour of the band features their most popular songs, rarely performed live deep-cuts as well as a selection of songs from Lukather's and Williams catalogs.

Line-up

The album's third, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet style of the previous albums. It was a more powerful, consistent effort with an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The edgier sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the development of the group. Bobby Kimball's growing ability to play was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard playing was as well more refined, more precise and less akin to earlier efforts.

After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live show 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 embarked on a tour around the world to support 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 find songs that hadn't been recorded before. The album was released in the form of a double-album called Then And Now in 2001. It was the first album in the history of the band not to feature one single track with the word "A" in the title, and it also contained 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 flop and singer Williams suffered from a bad laryngitis infection which limited his singing capabilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

Downes and the other original members of Asia - Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened a meeting in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility of formally reforming the band. The lineup, with the exception of Howe who was busy with Yes at the time, was renamed Toto XIV. They 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 an appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
