Far East Family Band - Timeless (from an era, from a generation) “Nipponjin (Japanese People)” - Join Our Mental Phase Sound (on compilation album released in 1976) Lyrics by J.M. Burkard, Music by Fumio Miyashita and Akira Ito Arrangement: Far East Family Band Produced by Fumio Miyashita // Far East Family Band (1975) Fumio Miyashita: Vocals, Guitars Hirohito Fukushima: guitars Akira Ito: Keyboards Masaaki Takahashi: keyboards (later changes his name to “KITARO” and goes solo) Akira Fukakusa: bass guitar Shizuo Takasaki: Drums Recorded March - May 1975 at Nippon Columbia Main Studio, Tokyo, Japan // Timeless (JIDAI KARA: from an era, from a generation) Passing along father to son Over the ages Flowing along father to son Over the ages Realization of the truth, Appreciating what is real Feeling and sighing, Feeling and flying to the sky Passing along father to son Over the ages Flowing along father to son Over the ages Reality exceeds the strange, revolving on a different plane Birds are flying, The breezes singing through the sky (English translation of Japanese lyrics part) Something that flows and is passed down from era to era. Something that continues to fly from generation to generation One thing is certain, beyond the limits, birds fly Beyond the limits, birds fly A bird flies into a hollow hole (in the earth) KUDOH E. //The mystique of their music is a fusion of ancient Japanese culture and traditional Japanese Shinto spirituality, both of which have been handed down in Japan since the Jomon Pottery Age, 14,000 years ago, and are indigenous to nature worship.
This was recorded at about the time when my then boyfriend KLAUS SCHULZE (had)composed TIMEWIND. Whem he left for England in late 1975 to record with the FAR EAST FAMILY BAND in a castle somewhere there ,I was so mad at him when he told me on the phone that FUMYO had just done such a great pantomime instead of telling me that he missed me ,that I called his manager KLAUS MÜLLER the next day and said ,that it's over with Klaus and me. I might have overreacted,yet the manager wasn't happy anyway about Klaus being in love (or infatuated) with me ,and he certainly happily ended our relationship. It's great to have memories to share on youtube....xxxx ++++ xxxx ++++........+++
Was our favorite album during late 70's and I been playing Nipponjin much lately .The sound quality is still incredible .So e ka masa , so Jen Figo dodo dowin senso vigo. Remember that part. Such a fantastic album .
Estupenda banda japonesa. Sin desperdicio. Recomiendo también los temas: Saying To The Land, Mystery Of Notherm Space, Nihonjìn y Too Many People. Gracias a honestjoe 1000.
Wonder,what FUMYO is doing..maybe they'll let him perform in one of KÖNIG LUDWIG II von BAYERN c a s t l e s this year after some cultural hankypanky with LA GENDRONNIERE (TAISEN DESHIMARU'S chateau in the Loire valley not far from Mick Jagger's castle)
He did continue his passion for music long after Far East Family Band as a solo artist. Would definitely recommend checking it out he became a healing musician his own genre as Fumio Miyashita. But he unfortunately passed away about 21 years ago to cancer.
Timeless Passing along - father to son Over the ages Flowing along - father to son Over the ages Realization of the truth, appreciating what is real Feeling and sighing, feeling and flying to the sky Passing along - father to son Over the ages Flowing along - father to son Over the ages Reality exceeds the strange, revolving on a different plane A bird is flying, the breezes sighing through the sky
Völlig unbekannt in Europa gewesen. Brauchten sich hinter bekannten Bands wie Pink Floyd oder Genesis nicht zu verstecken. Sphärische progressive Rockmusik, warum nicht auch aus Japan? Far Out war übrigens die Vorläuferband des Sängers.
This band wrote good music of the genre, but their recorded output suffered from an engineer or production style that used far, far too much reverb etc. I'd postulate that drier recordings may well have served them much better.
Far East Family Band - Timeless (from an era, from a generation)
“Nipponjin (Japanese People)” - Join Our Mental Phase Sound (on compilation album released in 1976)
Lyrics by J.M. Burkard, Music by Fumio Miyashita and Akira Ito
Arrangement: Far East Family Band
Produced by Fumio Miyashita
// Far East Family Band (1975)
Fumio Miyashita: Vocals, Guitars
Hirohito Fukushima: guitars
Akira Ito: Keyboards
Masaaki Takahashi: keyboards (later changes his name to “KITARO” and goes solo)
Akira Fukakusa: bass guitar
Shizuo Takasaki: Drums
Recorded March - May 1975 at Nippon Columbia Main Studio, Tokyo, Japan
// Timeless (JIDAI KARA: from an era, from a generation)
Passing along father to son
Over the ages
Flowing along father to son
Over the ages
Realization of the truth, Appreciating what is real
Feeling and sighing, Feeling and flying to the sky
Passing along father to son
Over the ages
Flowing along father to son
Over the ages
Reality exceeds the strange, revolving on a different plane
Birds are flying, The breezes singing through the sky
(English translation of Japanese lyrics part)
Something that flows and is passed down from era to era.
Something that continues to fly from generation to generation
One thing is certain, beyond the limits, birds fly
Beyond the limits, birds fly
A bird flies into a hollow hole (in the earth) KUDOH E.
//The mystique of their music is a fusion of ancient Japanese culture and traditional Japanese Shinto spirituality, both of which have been handed down in Japan since the Jomon Pottery Age, 14,000 years ago, and are indigenous to nature worship.
And Kitaro on one of the keyboards.
Sono veramente unici. Meravigliosi.💞

Hello Great History can I contact with you? I would like interview with you. I'm great Klaus Schulze fan. Please!!!!!!
If Schulze was responsible for drowning this band's recordings in reverb and effects then he did them no good service at all.
amazing musicians, Nipponjin is a must have classic : )
Was our favorite album during late 70's and I been playing Nipponjin much lately .The sound quality is still incredible .So e ka masa , so Jen Figo dodo dowin senso vigo. Remember that part. Such a fantastic album .
Don't speak Japanese , so my interpretation of what they sang. Still know that line by heart.
