Far East Family Band (Japanese: ファー・イースト・ファミリー・バンド, Fā Īsuto Famirī Bando) was a Japanese psychedelic progressive rock band that was formed in the mid-1970s.

Band history
Far East Family Band emerged from Fumio Miyashita's project Far Out, which released a self-titled album in 1973. The Far East Family Band's debut album was released in 1975 and featured keyboard-heavy, psychedelic progressive rock with influences from Pink Floyd. The Cave Down to Earth earned the band the reputation of being the first Japanese representative of progressive rock.

In the same year, Nipponjin - Join Our Mental Phase Sound followed, which revisits pieces from the Far Out album and the debut album in English and was mixed by Klaus Schulze. Schulze also mixed and produced the third album, on which the influence of his electronic music can be heard. The last album was recorded without Akira Ito and Masanori Takahashi (Kitarō) and with Yūjin Harada instead of Shizuo Takasaki, and shows elements of New Age music. The band then disbanded.
