The Band Toto Asia Toto was expanding its production facilities in the overseas market and operating in France, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, 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 was recording Toto words to ensure the next generation would be able to read them. However, many of the words were being replaced with foreign ones, like dui, which is Bengali for verandah. Origins Toto's early history that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's rapid economic growth. In the first half of its existence, the company manufactured products to meet the demands of modern, contemporary urban housing. To achieve this, it employed the first tunnel kiln in the nation that produced ceramics in a continuous flow. It also pioneered the use automation to control production, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency. The company began expanding overseas in the late 1980s to profit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other products from other manufacturers to complement its own line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the market share of the company globally. In the 1990s Toto began focusing on research and development for water-related appliances. It also upgraded its system of distribution to better serve its customers and improve profit. The company also employed the just-in time approach in its supply chain management and sales program. This resulted in a greater level customer satisfaction. Toto continues to invent in the toilet technology.

Apart from toilets, Toto manufactures bathtubs and faucets and hand dryers that are more efficient in terms of energy consumption than conventional models. The first museum of the company was opened in 2015 It has exhibits on Toto's seminal products and their evolution, its group companies (all related to ceramics) as well as the historical background of plumbing and products like bath units, and in a separate gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum also has a bathroom with a WASHLET as well as other toilet innovations. Before the formation of Toto members of the group did session work for various musicians. Keyboardist David Paich, drummer Jeff Porcaro and guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather all played on the album Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs. 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 queens and kings however, it's actually a fairly straightforward rock band. The band began as four-piece, and released two albums: 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a diverse musical background, but 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 deliver an album that was a success or they would drop them. Toto was able to do this feat with the help of the hit song “Africa.” Toto's musical mastery is the result of their previous experience. Before joining the group, the band members worked as session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts.

The album also includes some slow, jazzier tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album ends with Great Expectations. This song is a mix of folk and the distorted AOR, which should appear completely unnatural, but actually works very well. After Toto IV, the band's fortunes started to plummet. David Hungate left the band to pursue a solo career, and the band had several drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in aftermath of drug-related charges. However, the group continued to perform as a trio featuring Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather. Toto released Isolation despite the turbulence. It wasn't as well-liked as IV.

Line-up Turn Back, the band's third studio album it was an ode to the traditional sextet style and a more consistent, stronger album with a sharper edge. Its edgier sound reflected the maturation of the group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's increased virtuosity on drums, and a more mature, confident vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work was more precise, sharper and less cloned on previous performances. After touring to promote their album, the group 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 a few months later and then embarked on a world tour promote the album. 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 & Lukather began searching through old tapes & demos to find songs that had never been recorded prior to. It was completed in 2001 as a double album called Then and Now. 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 group's fourth album, Old Is New was not a commercial success and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis that affected his singing abilities. Additionally, Hungate returned to Nashville as a drummer, and Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck. Downes along with the other original members of Asia—Wetton, Palmer, and Howe—convened an event in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility of restructuring the band.
