Dhaniram Toto was recording Toto words to ensure the future generations could read them. Many words were replaced by foreign ones. For instance, dui, which is Bengali for verandah was being used.
Origins
The early history of Toto that 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 new, modern urban housing. To accomplish this, it used the first tunnel kiln in the nation to make ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation for production control, allowing greater efficiency and a more consistent production.
The company began expanding its operations overseas in the late 1980s to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company founded the Cera Trading Company to import and market other manufacturers' products in order to enhance its own range of sanitary earthenwares and plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the firm's global market share.
By the 1990s, Toto had shifted its focus on research and development of water-related household appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better serve customers and increase profit. The company adopted a just-in-time method of managing supply chains and used the same methodology for its sales process. This resulted in a greater degree of customer satisfaction.
Toto continued to develop toilet technology. The latest toilet from the company features a powerful, environmentally-friendly tornado flush. The company uses recycled water in its manufacturing process and also has a green purchasing policy. Toto also produces bathtubs, faucets,
메이저사이트 and hand dryers with higher energy efficiency than typical models.
The first Toto museum opened in 2015. It features exhibits on Toto’s seminal products as well as their evolution, group companies (all of which are made from ceramics), the history of plumbing and products such as bath units. In another gallery, visitors can see Toto products that are sold throughout. The museum also has a bathroom that includes a WASHLET toilet and other toilet-related innovations.
Before forming Toto the members of the group performed session work for a variety of musicians. Boz Scaggs album Silk Degrees featured keyboardist David Paich, guitarists Mike Porcaro & Steve Lukather as well as drummers Jeff Porcaro & Steve Lukather. They also performed on albums by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.
Discography
You might expect a band with a name like Asia to be a prog rock band however it's actually a relatively straightforward rock group. The group started out as a quartet and recorded two albums: 1979's self-titled debut album, and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. However, even though the group have a diverse musical background their biggest hit was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV.
The album was a massive blockbuster, but not without difficulties. Record companies put the band on the spot with the ultimatum "give us an album that's a smash or we'll sack you" and the pressure was on them to give it. Toto was able to do this with the help from the smash hit "Africa."
Toto's musical mastery is a result of their prior experience since the members had been session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts prior to forming the group. Their sonic signature has become the norm for '80s pop, and has influenced many contemporary artists.
This album starts off hard with tracks like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write amazing AOR songs that slowly work their hooks into your.

토토사이트 distortion AOR that could appear completely unnatural, but actually works very well.

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 a harder edge than Hydra. The edgier sound of Turn Back reflected the development of the group. Bobby Kimball's growing ability to play was evident in the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. David Paich's work was sharper, more intricate, and less derivative than 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. The group released a brand new studio album a few months later, and went on a world tour to help 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 & Lukather began searching through old tapes & demos to find songs that had never been recorded prior to. It was released in the form of a double-album called Then & Now in 2001. It was the band's first album without one single track titled "A". The album also contained a previously unreleased track titled "Kari-Anne".
By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth record, Old Is New was a commercial failure and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis that restricted his singing capabilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.
Downes, Wetton Palmer and Howe, the founding members of Asia, met in England early in 2006 to discuss the possibility that the band could be revived. This lineup, with the exception of Howe (who was a member of Yes at the time) was eventually referred to as Toto XIV and 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 featured the appearance of singer Michael McDonald, 토지노 사이트 -
