In 1979, their 2nd album “Taking Off” produced by Lamont Dozier, David Paich and David Foster.
2 years later, Keane brothers had completed their 3rd album “Keane” under the name of the band “Keane”, which was sold about 40,000 copies in Japan and in those days called as “Little Toto” or “Young Toto” for the sound of them.
