Toto was expanding its production facilities in the overseas market and doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand 안전놀이터 추천 and the People's Republic of China. Toto considered North America as a growth market for Washlet bidet seats and toilets, in contrast to its "base" markets of Japan and China.

Dhaniram Toto documented Toto words so that the next generation could understand them. However, many of the words were replaced with foreign ones, such as dui from Bengali for verandah.

Origins

Toto's early history, which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic expansion. In the first half of its existence, the company made products to meet the demands of new, 안전놀이터 추천 [sell] modern urban housing. It was the first tunnel kilns in the country to continuously produce ceramics. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, which allows for more efficiency and consistency.

In the latter half of the 1980s, the company began to expand outwards to profit from sales and new markets. The company created the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other products of other manufacturers in order to enhance its own range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and 토토 꽁머니사이트 (sell) increased the firm's market share in the world.

In the 1990s, Toto began to focus on research and development for water-related appliances. It also redesigned its distribution system to better serve its customers and increase profit. The company used the same just-in-time approach to its supply chain management and sales program. This led to a higher level of satisfaction of customers.

Toto continues to invent with regard to toilet technology. Its latest toilet has a strong, eco-friendly tornado flush. Toto uses recycled water for its manufacturing process, and has a green purchasing policy. Apart from toilets, Toto manufactures bathtubs and faucets, as well as hand dryers that are more efficient in terms of energy consumption than conventional models.

The museum houses a bathroom with a WASHLET as well as other toilet innovations.

Before the formation of Toto members of the group performed sessions for a variety of 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 played 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 queens and kings but they're actually a fairly simple rock group. The band was initially a four-piece and 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 when they released Toto IV.

The album was a huge blockbuster, but not without difficulties. The record companies placed Toto under pressure to deliver an album that was a success or they would drop the album. Toto was able to achieve this with the help from the hit song "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is the result of their prior experience. Before joining the group, members were session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the standard for 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists.

The album begins with a hefty dose of hard rock with songs like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write amazing AOR songs that slowly build their hooks into your mind. The album also contains jazzier, slower tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations, a song which combines folk and distortion AOR and 토지노 커뮤니티 sounds completely wrong, but actually works wonderfully well.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes started to plummet. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band was through several drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band after drug charges. The band remained with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro.

Despite the chaos, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation that was not as successful as IV. The band managed to release a chart-topping album, Kingdom of Desire, in 1992. The album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was the first album to feature a new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album, was a return to a classic sextet format, and a more consistent, stronger effort with a harder edge. The edgier sound of Turn Back reflected the growth of the band. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing proficiency was evident in the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. David Paich's work was more refined, sharper and less cloned on previous recordings.

After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live concert in Amsterdam which was released as a set of two CDs entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album followed a few months later, and the band embarked on a world-wide tour in support of the album. During this period keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend 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 2001 as a double album titled Then & Now. It was the first album by the band not to include a single song with the word "A" in its title. It also included 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 failure, and vocalist Williams was suffering from a serious laryngitis infection that limited his singing abilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

Downes along with the other members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened an event in England in early 2006 to discuss the possibility of officially reforming the band. This lineup, minus Howe who was busy with Yes at the 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 group also featured a special guest appearance from singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
