토지노 사이트 was expanding its production facilities in the overseas market and doing business in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the People's Republic of China. Toto believed that North America as a growth market for Washlet's bidets and toilets, as opposed to its “base” markets of Japan and China. Dhaniram Toto was recording Toto words to ensure the future generations could read the words. However, many of the words were replaced with foreign words, such as dui, which is Bengali for verandah. Origins Established in 1917, Toto's early years were a mirror of Japan's economic development. In the early years of its existence, the company produced products to meet the demands of modern and contemporary urban housing. It was the first tunnel kiln in the country to produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use of automation for production control, allowing greater efficiency and consistency. In the latter half of the 1980s, the company began expanding overseas in order to profit from sales and new markets. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and marketing other manufacturers' products to complement its own lines of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy helped to increase sales and expand the firm’s global market share. In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis on research and development of water-related household appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve customers and increase profit. The company employed the same approach of just-in-time in its supply chain management and sales program. This led to a higher degree of customer satisfaction. Toto continues to invent with regard to toilet technology. The latest toilet, for example it has a powerful tornado flush that is more ecologically friendly than conventional toilets. The company also makes use of recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green procurement policy. Toto also manufactures faucets, bathtubs and hand dryers with higher energy efficiency than typical models. The first museum of the company opened in 2015, and it has exhibitions about Toto's iconic products and their development and its group companies (all related to ceramics) and the history of plumbing and products such as bath units and, in a different gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum also has a bathroom that features the WASHLET toilet, as well as other toilet-related innovations. Before beginning the formation of Toto members of the group performed sessions for a variety of musicians. Boz Scaggs' album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich as well as guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather and drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also performed on albums by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher. Discography With a name like Asia, you would think that the group would be prog kings and queens but they're actually a fairly simple rock band. The band started out as a quartet and released two albums – 1979's self titled debut, and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. However, even though the group have a diverse musical background, their biggest success was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV. The album was a major blockbuster, but it was not without its share of issues. The record companies put Toto under pressure to release the top single or they would rescind them. Toto was able to achieve this with the help from the smash hit “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experiences. Before joining the group, the members worked as session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the standard of 1980s music, 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 fantastic AOR songs that slowly get their hooks into your. But the album also contains some more mellow, jazzy tracks, like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations, a song which combines folk and distortion AOR and could sound totally wrong, but is incredibly effective. 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 left the group due to drug charges. The band remained with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro. Despite the turbulence, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation, which was not as successful as IV. However, the band still was able to release a chart-topping album in 1992, Kingdom of Desire. This album marked the conclusion of the original Toto lineup and was the first album featuring 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. Drummer Bobby Kimball's increased proficiency was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. Keyboardist David Paich's work was sharper, more intricate and less cloned previously recorded recordings. After touring to promote their album, the band recorded the band's Amsterdam live performance which was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. The group released a brand new studio album a few months later and embarked on a tour around the world to support it. In this time, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes filled in for Paich, and bassist David Hungate left the group to spend more time with his family. In 1998, Paich and Lukather started exploring old demo tapes and tapes to make an album that would feature songs that had never been recorded before. It was completed in 2001 as a double album called Then and Now. It was the band's first album that did not contain a single song titled “A”. The album also contained an previously unreleased track “Kari-Anne”. By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The fourth album, Old Is New, was a commercial flop and singer Williams was suffering from a severe case of laryngitis which limited his singing capabilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck. Downes, Wetton Palmer and Howe, the founding members of Asia, met in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility that the band could be revived. The group, which was missing Howe who was busy with Yes during that time, was renamed 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 had a special appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
