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 to ensure that the future generation could understand the words. Many words were substituted with foreign ones. For example, dui, which is Bengali for verandah, was being used. Origins Toto's early history, which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic expansion. In the first half, Toto produced products to meet the demands for modern, contemporary urban housing. To do this, it used the country's first tunnel kiln to make ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation for [[https://humanlove.stream/wiki/20_Things_You_Should_Know_About_Sports_Toto_Official_Website|첫가입 꽁머니]] production control, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency. The company began expanding overseas in the late 1980s to take advantage of new markets and sales opportunities. It launched the Cera Trading Company, importing and selling other products of manufacturers to complement its own lines of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy helped increase sales and increased the firm's market share in the world. In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development for household appliances that are water-related. It also redesigned its system of distribution to better serve customers and increase profit. The company used the same approach of just-in-time in its supply chain management as well as sales program. This resulted in a greater level of customer satisfaction. Toto continues to invent toilet technology. Its latest toilet has a powerful, environmentally-friendly tornado flush. Toto also makes use of recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green purchasing policy. In addition to toilets Toto produces bathtubs and faucets, as well as hand dryers that are more efficient in energy use than conventional models. The first Toto museum opened in the year 2015. It has exhibitions on Toto’s seminal products as well as their evolution, group companies (all of which are made of ceramics) as well as the history of plumbing and other products like bath units. In an additional gallery, you can view Toto products that are sold throughout. The museum even has a bathroom that features a WASHLET toilet and other toilet-related innovations. Before the formation of Toto members of the group performed sessions with various musicians. Boz Scaggs' album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich and guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather, drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also performed on albums by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher. Discography With a name as evocative as Asia one would think that the group would be prog kings and queens however, it's actually a fairly simple rock group. The band began as a four-piece and released two albums that were self-titled in 1979 and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a diverse musical background but their biggest success came in 1982 when they released Toto IV. The album was a huge blockbuster, but not without its share of problems. The record companies put Toto under pressure to release the top single or they would rescind the album. Toto was able to achieve this through the aid of 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 like Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the standard for 1980s music, [[http://freeok.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=6196918|스포츠토토]] and has inspired a lot of 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 amazing AOR songs that slowly get their hooks into you. The album also features slow, jazzier tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations, a song that mixes folk with distortion AOR and could sound totally wrong, but 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, [[http://www.1v34.com/space-uid-521869.html|토토 꽁머니]] and the band was through numerous drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band following drug-related charges. The band continued with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro. Toto released Isolation despite the turbulence. It was not as well-liked as IV. The band was able to release an album that topped the charts, Kingdom of Desire, in 1992. The album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was the first to feature a new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up The band's third album, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet format of the previous albums. It was a more powerful, constant effort with a harder edge than Hydra. The edgier sound of Turn Back reflected the maturation in the group. Bobby Kimball's growing virtuosity was reflected by the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard skills were also more sophisticated, sharper, and less derivative on previous recordings. After touring to promote their album, the band recorded their Amsterdam live performance which was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. A new studio album was released just a few months later and the group embarked on a long-distance tour in support of it. During 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 demo tapes and tapes to make an album that would feature songs that had never been recorded before. It was released as a double-album titled Then & Now in 2001. It was the first album by the band that did not include one single track with the word "A" in its title and it included one previously not released track, "Kari-Anne". By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The fourth album, Old Is New, was a commercial flop and [[https://digitaltibetan.win/wiki/Post:15_Things_Youve_Never_Known_About_Sport_Toto_Official_Website|메이저사이트 순위]] singer Williams suffered from a bad laryngitis condition which limited his singing capabilities. In addition, Hungate returned to Nashville and 먹튀검증 ([[https://weheardit.stream/story.php?title=10-of-the-top-mobile-apps-to-use-for-toto-rules|weheardit.stream]]) drummer Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck. Downes along with the other original members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened a meeting in England in the early part of 2006 to discuss the possibility of formally reforming the band. The lineup, with the exception of Howe who was busy with Yes at the time, was renamed Toto XIV. They toured extensively. In 2010, the band reunited for [[https://www.scdmtj.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=2192057|토토 꽁머니]] 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 had a special guest appearance from singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
