Origins

The company was founded in 1917 and its early years were a mirror of Japan's economic development. In the first half of 1917, Toto manufactured goods to meet the demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. To achieve this, it used the first tunnel kiln in the nation to produce ceramics in a continuous flow. It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding its operations overseas in the late 1980s to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. It established the Cera Trading Company, importing and marketing other manufacturers' products to complement its own lines of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy helped increase sales and expand the firm’s global market share.

In the 1990s Toto began focusing on research and development of water-related appliances. It also upgraded its distribution system to better serve the needs of its customers and to increase profits. The company implemented a just-in-time method of managing supply chains, and it used the same method in its sales strategy. This led to a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Line-up

The band's third album, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet format of the previous albums. It was a stronger, more consistent effort that had an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back reflected the development of the group. Bobby Kimball's growing virtuosity was reflected by the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature.

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live show in Amsterdam which was released as a set of two CDs called Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records.

During 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 searching through old demo tapes and tapes to make an album that would feature songs that were never recorded before.
