Origins

Toto's early history that began in 1917, was a reflection of Japan's economic expansion. In the first half of 1917, Toto manufactured products to meet the growing demand for modern, brand new urban housing. To do this, it employed the country's first tunnel kiln to produce ceramics in continuous flow.

Discography

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album is an ode to the classic sextet format and a more consistent, stronger album with a sharper edge.
