The Band Toto Asia Toto was expanding its production facilities overseas, and was 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, in contrast to its “base” markets in Japan and China. Dhaniram Toto was recording Toto words to ensure that the next generation could read them. Many words were replaced 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 growth. In the first half 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 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 internationally in the latter part of the 1980s to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and marketing other products of manufacturers to complement its own lines of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the company's market share in the world. In the 90s, Toto began to concentrate on research and development for water-related appliances. It also improved its system of distribution 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 with the customer. Toto has been able to continue to innovate in the toilet technology. Its most recent toilet, for instance is equipped with a powerful tornado flush that is more eco 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 standard models. The company's first museum opened in the year 2015 and features exhibits about Toto's iconic products and their development and its group companies (all having to do with ceramics) as well as the history 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 a WASHLET toilet as well as other toilet-related innovations. Before the formation of Toto the band, members of the band did sessions for various musicians. Boz Scaggs' album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich and guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather, drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher. Discography You would expect a group with a name like Asia to be a prog rock group however, it's actually a relatively straightforward rock outfit. The band started out as a quartet, and they released two albums – 1979's self-titled debut album and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The band has a varied musical background but their biggest success came in 1982 when they released Toto IV. The album was a massive blockbuster, but not without difficulties. The record companies placed the band under pressure to release the top single or they would drop the album. Luckily for Toto they delivered and they did it with the aid of the smash single “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is a result of their prior experience. Before forming the group, the band members worked as session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their sonic trademark has become the standard of 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists. The album opens up hard with tracks like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to create great AOR tunes that slowly get into your head. But the album also contains some more mellow, jazzy tracks, like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations, a song that combines folk with distorted AOR and should sound totally wrong, but works amazingly well. After Toto IV, the band's fortunes turned to the downside. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band went through several drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the group in the aftermath of drug-related charges. However, the group continued to perform as a trio, which included Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather. Despite the turmoil, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation, which was not as successful as IV. However, the band still managed to release another chart-topping album in the year 1992 with Kingdom of Desire. This album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was also the first album featuring a new singer, Simon Phillips. Tours The band has performed across the globe to an crowd of millions, with sold-out shows across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia and New Zealand. The band's repertoire is huge, and their collective catalog has amassed over a billion streams on streaming services worldwide. The band's iconic music has influenced generations of fans.

Line-up The album's third, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet arrangement of the previous albums. It was a more powerful, consistent effort with an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. The more edgy sound of the album 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 work was as well more refined, more precise and less akin to previous efforts. After touring to promote their album, the band recorded an Amsterdam live concert that was released by Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. The group released a brand new studio album just a few months after and embarked on a tour around the world to support 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 & Lukather began searching through old tapes & demos to discover songs that hadn't been recorded prior to. It was completed in the form of a double-album called Then & Now in 2001. It was the first album by the band without the single track “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 serious laryngitis condition that limited his singing abilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming 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 officially reforming the band. The group, which was missing Howe who was occupied 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 had a special appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
