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 area of growth for toilets and bidet seats, as opposed its "base" markets in Japan and China.
Dhaniram Toto documented Toto words to ensure that the future generation could read the words. Many words were replaced by foreign ones. For instance, dui, which is Bengali for verandah was being used.
Origins
Toto's early history that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic growth. In the first half of its existence, the company made goods to meet demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. It had the first tunnel kilns in the country that could produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use of automation for production control, allowing greater efficiency and a more consistent production.
The company began expanding its operations overseas in the late 1980s to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and distributing other manufacturers' products to complement its own range of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and increased the firm's global market share.
In the 90s, Toto began to focus on research and development for water-related appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve customers and boost profits. The company embraced a just-in time approach to supply chain management, and it used the same approach in its sales program. This led to a higher level of satisfaction with the customer.
Toto continued to develop toilet technology. Its latest toilet has an environmentally friendly, powerful tornado flush. Toto also makes use of recycled water in its production process and has a green purchasing policy. In addition to toilets Toto manufactures faucets and bathtubs and hand dryers that are more efficient in terms of energy consumption than standard models.
The first museum of the company opened in the year 2015, and it has exhibitions on Toto's most iconic products and 메이저사이트 추천 their evolution, its group companies (all having to do with ceramics) and the history 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 as well as other toilet-related innovations.
Before forming Toto members of the group did sessions with 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 albums by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.
Discography
With a name as evocative as Asia you'd think that the group would be prog kings and queens - but it's actually a pretty straight forward rock band. The band was initially a four-piece and released two albums in 1979, the self-titled debut album and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a wide musical background but their biggest success came in 1982 with Toto IV.
The album was a major blockbuster, but it was not without its share of problems. Record companies placed the band on the position with the order "give us a hit record or we'll drop you" and the pressure was on them to give it. Luckily for Toto they did with the aid of the smash single "Africa."
Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experiences. Before forming the group, the members were session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the standard of 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists.
The album starts out hard with tracks like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write fantastic AOR tunes that slowly get into your head. The album also has some more mellow, jazzy tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations. This song is a mix of folk and the distorted AOR that could seem like a complete blunder, but is very effective.
After Toto IV, the band's fortunes began to wane. David Hungate left the band to focus on his solo career. The band was dominated by drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in after he was charged with drug abuse. the group continued to perform as a trio, which included Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Line-up
Turn Back, the band's third studio album, was a return to a classic sextet structure, and an even more consistent and powerful effort with a harder edge.
