Transfer money from my US bank to my foreign bank, do I still need to file FBAR and 8938?

Hi, I read several post I know that transferring money from my US Bank to Foreign bank is ok as the money in my US bank is already taxed.  

The question is.. Let's say I transferred 50K from Bank of America to Bank of Tokyo in 2020, both accounts owned by me,  Do I still need to file FBAR and 8938 ? since those money is not earned in a foreign country, I simply transferred the $ from one US account to a foreign account?  

 

Thank you.
