Origins

The company was founded in 1917 and its beginnings mirrored Japan's development. In the first half, Toto manufactured products to meet the demands for modern, contemporary urban housing. It was the first tunnel kiln in the nation to produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use automation to control production, which allows for more efficiency and consistency.

In the latter half of the 1980s, the company began expanding outwards to profit from sales and new markets. It launched the Cera Trading Company, importing and 토토사이트 꽁머니 distributing other products of manufacturers to complement its own line of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy helped to increase sales and expand the company's market share in the world.

In the 90s, Toto began focusing on research and development for water-related appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of customers and to increase profits. The company employed the same just-in time approach in its supply chain management as well as sales program. This resulted in a greater level of customer satisfaction.

Discography

Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous 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 trademark has become the standard of '80s music, influencing many contemporary artists.

The album opens up hard with songs like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write great AOR tunes that slowly creep into your head. The album also has some slower, more jazzy tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations. This song blends folk and the distorted AOR which could sound completely wrong but actually is very effective.

After Toto IV The band's fortunes changed for the worse. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career and the band went through several drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the group due to drug charges. The band remained with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album it was an ode to the traditional sextet style, and an even more consistent and powerful effort that had a more grittier edge. Its edgier sound reflected the maturation of the group and included drummer Bobby Kimball's improved virtuosity on drums, and an improved, mature vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard work was also more sophisticated, sharper, 토토사이트 꽁머니 and less derivative on previous efforts.

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live show in Amsterdam that was released as a set of two CDs titled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The group released a new studio album a few months after and embarked on a world tour 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 looking through old demos and tapes in search of a new record featuring songs that had never been recorded before. The album was released in 2001 as a double album called Then and Now. It was the first album in the band's history not to feature a single song with the word "A" in the title, and it also contained one previously not released track, "Kari-Anne".

By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity.
