The Band Toto Asia
Toto was expanding its production facilities abroad, and 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 bidet and washlet toilet seats, in contrast to its "base" markets in Japan and China.
Dhaniram Toto was documenting Toto words to ensure the future generations could comprehend the words. However, many of the words were being replaced with foreign words, such as dui, which is Bengali for verandah.
Origins
Toto's early history which began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic expansion. In the beginning, Toto produced products to meet the demands for modern, new urban housing. To achieve this, it employed the country's first tunnel kiln to make ceramics in continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation for production control, which helps to increase efficiency and consistency.
In the late 1980s the company began expanding overseas to benefit from sales and new markets. It launched the Cera Trading Company, importing and selling other products of manufacturers to complement its own lines of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the firm’s global market share.
In the 1990s 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 in its supply chain management as well as sales program. This resulted in a greater level customer satisfaction.
Toto has been able to continue to innovate in the toilet technology. Its latest toilet, for instance is equipped with an extremely powerful tornado flush that is more eco friendly than traditional toilets. Toto uses recycled water for its manufacturing process, and also has a green purchasing policy. Toto also manufactures bathtubs, faucets, and hand dryers with higher energy efficiency than typical models.
The company's first museum opened in 2015, and it has exhibitions on Toto's seminal products and their evolution and its group companies (all having to do with ceramics) and the history of plumbing and products like bath units and, in a separate gallery, Toto products sold around the world. The museum also has the bathroom equipped with a washbasin and other toilet innovations.

Discography
With a name as evocative as Asia, you would think that the group would be prog kings and queens however, it's actually a fairly simple rock group.

The album begins with a hefty dose of hard rock with songs like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write amazing AOR songs that slowly work their hooks into your. However, the album also includes some slower, more jazzy tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations, a song which combines folk and distorted AOR and sounds like a complete flop, but works wonderfully well.
After Toto IV, the band's fortunes began to decline. David Hungate left the band to focus on his solo career, and the band was dominated by 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, which included Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.
Toto released Isolation despite the turmoil. It wasn't as popular as IV. The band was able to release an album that topped the charts, Kingdom of Desire, in 1992. This album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was also the first to feature the new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up
The band's third album, Turn Back, marked an reversion to the classic sextet format of previous albums and was a stronger, more consistent effort that had an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the maturation in the group. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing proficiency was evident in the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard playing was also sharper, more complex, and less derivative on earlier efforts.
After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live performance in Amsterdam which was released as a two-CD set called Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album was released shortly after, and the group went on an extensive world tour in support of 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 exploring old tapes and demos to discover songs that hadn't been recorded prior to. It was completed in 2001 as a duo album titled Then and Now. It was the first album by the band not to feature a single song with the word "A" in its title and it included one previously unreleased track, "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, which affected his singing abilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.
Downes and the other original members of Asia - Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened an event in England in early 2006 to discuss the possibility of reforming the band. The lineup, which was minus 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 an appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
