The Band Toto Asia Toto was expanding production facilities abroad, and doing business in France and Germany, Indonesia, Korea and Taiwan, Thailand and the People's Republic of China. North America was seen as a market that would grow for toilets and bidet seats, as opposed its “base” markets in Japan and China. Dhaniram Toto was documenting Toto words to ensure that the next generation could read them. However, many words were being replaced with foreign words, such as dui, which is Bengali for verandah. Origins The company was founded in 1917 and its beginnings mirrored Japan's development. In the early years of its existence, the company manufactured products to meet the demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. It used the first tunnel kiln in the country that could produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use automation to control production, which allows for more efficiency and consistency. The company began expanding its operations overseas in the latter part of the 1980s to profit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company founded the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other products of other manufacturers to enhance its own range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the firm’s global market share. In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development of household appliances that are water-related. It also improved its distribution system to better serve customers and boost profits. The company implemented a just-in-time method of managing supply chains, and it used the same method in its sales strategy. This resulted in a higher level of satisfaction with the customer. Toto continues to invent on the toilet technology. The most recent toilet features an environmentally friendly, powerful tornado flush. The company makes use of recycled water in its manufacturing process, and has a green purchasing policy. Toto also manufactures bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers with higher energy efficiency than conventional models. The first museum of the company opened in the year 2015 It has exhibits about Toto's iconic products and their development as well as its group companies (all that deal with ceramics) and the historical background of plumbing and products such as bath units, and in a separate gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum even has a bathroom that features the WASHLET toilet, as well as other toilet-related innovations. Before the formation of Toto the band, members of the group performed session work for a variety of musicians. Boz Scaggs album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich as well as guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather, drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also played on records by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher. Discography With a name like Asia one would expect the group to be prog queens and kings however, it's actually a fairly straightforward rock group. The group began 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 biggest success came in 1982 when they released Toto IV. The album was a major blockbuster but not without its problems. The record companies placed Toto under pressure to release a hit single or they would rescind them. Toto was able to do this with the help from the hit song “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experience. Before forming the group, members were session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their sonic signature has since become the standard for '80s pop, and has influenced many contemporary artists. The album opens with a strong and pounding sound with songs like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write great AOR songs that slowly get their hooks into your. But the album also contains some slower, more jazzy tracks, like 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 changed for the worse. 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 wake of drug charges and the group continued to perform as a trio with Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather. Toto released Isolation despite the turmoil. It wasn't as well-liked as IV. The group managed to release a chart-topping album, Kingdom of Desire, in 1992. The album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was also the first to feature the new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up Turn Back, the band's third studio album it was an attempt to return to the traditional sextet style and a more consistent, stronger effort with a harder edge. Its edgier sound was indicative of the maturation of group and included drummer Bobby Kimball's increased ability on the drums and a more mature, confident vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard playing was also more sophisticated, sharper and less akin to previous recordings. After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live concert in Amsterdam which was released as a two-CD set titled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The studio album came out shortly after, and the group embarked on a long-distance tour to promote it. In this time keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family. In 1998, Paich & Lukather began looking through old tapes and 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 band's first album without the single track “A”. The album also included a previously unreleased track “Kari-Anne”. By 2003, 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 affected his singing abilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck. Downes, Wetton Palmer and Howe, the original members of Asia, met in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility that the group could be reformed. 토토 꽁머니 , which was missing Howe who was working with Yes during that time, became 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 band also featured a guest appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
