Words that rhyme with Toshiba
Take toshiba apart phonetically and the bones are these: three-syllable, vowel on the flat /æ/, ending that opens out at the end. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. From the rhyme-data side: no strict pair turns up at all, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. From the lyric side, it works as a workaday word. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why toshiba rhymes the way it does
Toshiba is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a low-front /æ/, then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for toshiba tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
