The Band Toto Asia

Toto was expanding its production facilities abroad and was 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, in contrast to its "base" markets in Japan and China.

Dhaniram Toto was recording Toto words to ensure that the future generations would be able to read the words. However, many words were being replaced by foreign ones, like dui from Bengali for verandah.

Origins

Toto's early history that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic expansion. In the beginning of its existence, the company produced products to meet the demand for new, modern urban housing. To do this, it used the first tunnel kiln in the nation that produced ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered automation for production control, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding internationally in the latter part of the 1980s to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. It created the Cera Trading Company, importing and distributing other manufacturers' products to complement its own lines of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the company's market share in the world.

By the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development of household appliances that are water-related. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve its customers and boost profits. The company adopted a just-in-time method of managing supply chains and used the same methodology for its sales process. This led to a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Toto continued to innovate toilet technology. Its latest toilet, for example it has an extremely powerful tornado flush that is more environmentally friendly than traditional toilets. The company also uses recycled water in its production process and has a green procurement policy. Toto also produces bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers that have higher energy efficiency than typical models.

The company's first museum opened in the year 2015 and features exhibits on Toto's most iconic products and their evolution as well as its group companies (all that deal with ceramics) as well as the historical background of plumbing and products like bath units and, in a different gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum houses bathrooms with a WASHLET and other toilet innovations.

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

Discography

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes took a turn towards the negative. David Hungate left the band to pursue a solo career and the band was dominated by drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in the aftermath of drug-related charges. However, the group continued to perform as a trio, which included Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Line-up

The band's third album, Turn Back, 메이저사이트 marked an reversion to the classic sextet arrangement of previous albums. It was a stronger, more constant effort with an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the maturation in the group.

David Paich's keyboard skills were also more sophisticated, sharper and less akin to previous 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. A new studio album followed shortly after, and the band embarked on a long-distance 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.
