The Band Toto Asia

Toto was expanding its production facilities in the overseas market and doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and 먹튀검증 사이트 the People's Republic of China.

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

Origins

Established in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's development. In the first half of its existence, the company manufactured products to meet the demands of modern, contemporary urban housing. To achieve this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the nation to make ceramics in a continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation for production control, which helps to increase efficiency and a more consistent production.

The company began expanding internationally in the late 1980s to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. It created the Cera Trading Company, importing and selling other products from other manufacturers to complement its own lines of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy boosted sales and increased the company's market share.

By the 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development for household appliances that are water-related. It also upgraded its distribution system to better meet the needs of customers and boost profits. The company also employed the just-in time approach in its supply chain management as well as sales program. This resulted in a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Toto continued to innovate toilet technology. Its latest toilet, for instance is equipped with a powerful tornado flush that is more ecologically green than traditional toilets. The company also uses recycled water in its production process and has a green procurement policy. Toto also manufactures bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers with greater energy efficiency than standard models.

The first museum of the company was opened in 2015 It has exhibits on Toto's seminal products and their evolution, its group companies (all related to ceramics) and the historical background of plumbing and products like bath units and, in a separate gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum also has a bathroom that features a WASHLET toilet and other toilet-related innovations.

Before forming Toto the members of the group performed 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 appeared on records by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

With a name like Asia you'd expect the group to be prog kings and queens - but it's actually a pretty straight forward rock group. The band began as four members and released two albums that were self-titled in 1979 and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a wide musical background but their biggest success was in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a massive blockbuster, but it was not without its problems. The record companies placed Toto under pressure to release the top single or they would drop them. Luckily for Toto, they did, with the aid of the smash single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experiences, as the band 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 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists.

The album begins hard with songs like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to create great AOR songs that slowly sink into your head. The album also includes some more jazzy, slower tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. And the album ends with Great Expectations, a song that mixes folk with distorted AOR and could sound completely wrong, but actually works wonderfully well.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes took a turn towards the negative. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band went through numerous drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band after drug charges. The band continued to play with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro.

Despite the chaos, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation, which was not as successful as IV. However, the band still was able to release a chart-topping album in 1992 with Kingdom of Desire. The album was the last of Toto's lineup and the debut of Simon Phillips, a new vocalist.

Line-up

The band's third album, Turn Back, marked a return to the classic sextet format of previous albums. It was a stronger, more consistent effort that had a harder edge than Hydra. Its more punk-rock sound was indicative of the maturation of group and featured drummer Bobby Kimball's greater virtuosity on drums, and a more confident, 스포츠토토 mature vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's work was more refined, sharper and less cloying than on previous performances.

After touring to promote their album, the group recorded an Amsterdam live concert that was released by Eagle Records as a 2-CD set entitled Falling In Between. The group released their new studio album just a few months after, and went on a world 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 exploring old demos and tapes in search of a new album featuring songs that had never been recorded before. It was released as a double-album titled Then and Now in 2001. It was the first album by the band without a single song titled "A". The album also contained an previously unreleased track titled "Kari-Anne".

By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth record, Old Is New was a commercial failure and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis, 토토 꽁머니 which affected his singing abilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

Downes and the other original members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened a meeting in England in the early part of 2006 to discuss the possibility of formally restructuring the band. The lineup, which was 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 a guest appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
