The Band Toto AsiaToto 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 an area of growth for Washlet toilets and bidet seats, in contrast to its "base" markets in Japan and China.Dhaniram Toto recorded Toto words so that the next generation could read them. Many words were replaced with foreign ones. For instance dui, which is Bengali for verandah, was used.OriginsThe early history of Toto, which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic growth. In the beginning, Toto manufactured products to meet the growing demand for modern, brand new urban housing. To do this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the country that produced ceramics in a continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, allowing for more efficiency and consistency.안전놀이터 순위 began expanding internationally in the latter part of the 1980s to profit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and market other products of other manufacturers in order to expand its range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the company's market share in the world.In the late 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus to research and development of household appliances that are water-related. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of its customers and increase profits. The company also employed the just-in-time approach to its supply chain management and sales program. This led to a higher level of satisfaction of customers.Toto has been able to continue to innovate with regard to toilet technology. 토토사이트 모음 has a strong, eco-friendly tornado flush.

Boz Scaggs' album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich and guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather as well as drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher.DiscographyYou would expect a group with a name like Asia to be a prog band however, it's actually a relatively straightforward rock outfit. The band started out as a quartet, and they recorded two albums - 1979's self-titled debut album, and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. However, even though the group have a variety of musical backgrounds, their biggest success came in 1982 with Toto IV.The album was a huge blockbuster, but it was not without its share of issues. The record companies placed the band under pressure to release the top single or they would rescind them. Luckily for Toto they did and they did it with the assistance of the smash single "Africa."Toto's musical mastery owes a lot to their previous experience in the music industry, as the band members were session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts prior the group. Their sonic trademark has become the standard of the '80s, and has influenced many contemporary artists.The album opens with a strong and pounding sound with tracks like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write great AOR songs that slowly build their hooks into your mind. However, the album also includes some slower, more jazzy tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations, a song that combines folk with distortion AOR and should sound completely wrong, but actually works wonderfully well.After Toto IV The band's fortunes took a turn for the worse. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career and the band went through numerous drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in after he was charged with drug abuse. the band continued as a trio with Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.Despite the turbulence, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation, which 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 the new singer, Simon Phillips.ToursThe band has performed across the world, performing to an audience of millions, and has sold-out shows in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia and New Zealand. 토토사이트 모음 has a wide collection of songs, and their catalog has been listened to over one billion times on streaming services across the world.

It was a stronger, more consistent effort that had an edge that was stronger than Hydra. Its more punk-rock sound was indicative of the maturation of group and featured drummer Bobby Kimball's increased proficiency on the drums, as well as an improved, mature vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard skills were also sharper, more complex and less akin to earlier efforts.After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live concert in Amsterdam that was released as a two-CD set 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 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 and Lukather started looking through old tapes and demos for an album that would feature songs that had never been recorded before. The album was released in 2001 as a double album called Then and Now. It was the first album in the history of the band not to feature one single track with the word "A" in its title. It also included one previously unreleased track, "Kari-Anne".By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity.

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.
