- This Japanese TV Special from 1984, in memory of Karen, is presented by Richard, who shows us places in California that were important to Karen and himself. It has guest appearances from Herb Alpert, John Bettis, Frank Pooler and Burt Bacharach.
As I've only seen this cut into various sections, I decided to edit the best ones together, then edited the audio to fit, and cleaned up the sound up for the final part.
As they're from different sources, the picture quality does vary throughout.
You can clearly see that Karen took Terry Ellis' advice to heart when he told her that the Carpenters needed to develop a "stage presence" by connecting with the audience by, for example, waving to the fans at the top of the auditorium! According to Randy Schmidt's excellent book, "Little Girl Blue" about Karen Carpenter, when Ellis suggested that to Karen, she responded, "Why should I do that?" And Ellis told her the fans would wave back! Karen said, "No they won't" and Ellis correctly told her that the fans would wave back to her because they would absolutely love it that she was "reaching out to them" to show her and Richard's appreciation to them for coming out to see the Carpenters!
10代の頃、中学生になって初めて洋楽に興味を持ったのがカーペンターズでした。初めてアルバイトをして買ったレコードはカーペンターズでした。次に出るアルバムを待ち遠しく、アルバイトをしてお金を貯めて待っていたのを良く憶えています。より良い音で聴きたくてステレオ装置を買い替えていったのもそのためでした。大人になったらダウニーに行ってみたいと思っていましたが、カレンが早くに天国へ旅立たれ、失望し未だに叶えていません。今66歳になってもカレンの歌声は心地よく聴いていますが、一緒に年老いて新曲の歌声が聴きたかったがとても残念です。永遠のスター！ですね。
昨年2023年バートバカラックが亡くなった事日本のテレビで知りましたが、1983年にカレンが亡くなった時私は１日中泣いていました。今もメールを書きながら涙が止まりません❗
Interesting that the Japanese public were the audience for this very well done documentary. I still to this day see the influence Carpenters has had on performers of Oriental descent.
She is the one who sent me into drum lessons. My teacher was surprised by a female student
Oh, honestly! We women can do it!!❤
Thank you Billy Rees for uploading this video. A great fan from Germany.
I hope I see you in heaven.
カレンの素晴らしさはハイトーンvoice、middle、lowtonevoice人間が出せる声帯のSPACEにおいて非常に艶があり、.ggadがあります、perfectvoice。もう今後カレンを超えるladysingerはperfectにallaroundworldに出現しないでしょう！💫
Watching these videos and listening to Karen's voice never fails to instill a sense of grief in me, because I miss her. I'll never know how far she and Richard might have gone. Together, they created a special magic that will be missed. Other women with great voices that sound like Karen's, which without Richard, won't come close.
Karen looks and sounds great here
I really miss hearing Karen’s voice. So beautiful! Thank you Richard Carpenter. ❤
Definitely a product of it's time, but a fascinating look back, thank you Billy!

Karen was such a superb drummer! One of the all-time great drummers according to Buddy Rich!
The Carpenters always had the best backup musicians in their band! Tony Peluso, Bob Messenger, Gary Sims, Cubby O'Brien, etc.
Karen was never so happy as she was when she was behind those drums! The smile and unmitigated joy on her face during the performance of the classic Beatles' song, "Help" during this concert in Japan is wonderful to see!!!! Karen we miss you so much more than you can possibly imagine!😢
Thanks for sharing this video Billy 🙏🏻 beautiful to see this one again.
👍🏻💓
Thank you Karen for one of your treasures! See you with Jesus. Love in Christ, Louis Bodin
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! My only complaint is i wish there was cc , as I do have hearing issues.
I love the Carpenters, have since I was a teenager. I idolized them and still do.
Never seen this before ,great video but slightly awkward in places! 👍
Great job of editing the various videos into your version of the broadcast. 👍
Wow haha I mean I'm speachless this is fantastic
Applauses from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏
Thanks for compiling all and uploading this. It's remarkable seeing these concert clips from 1978. Such a pleasure watching The Carpenters - and, especially, listening to Karen's singular and stunning voice. The lovely Ave Maria begins at 54:15. Thank you. ❤
Desde jovem sempre fui apaixonado pela sonoridade e pela voz de Karen Anne Carpenter mesmo nao sabendo nada de Inglês. Caminhava milhas para comprar suas produções e álbuns.
Hoje com 66 anos ainda guardo como reliquia seus álbuns de Vinil e uma vitrola para ouvir suas musicas e "Voltar no Tempo". Karen foi uma alma iluminada que despertava com a magia da sua voz os mais puros sentimenros em qualquer pessoa do planeta .
That Plymouth Fury Still Rocks !!!
One of the things you notice during this Carpenters concert is that drummer Cubby O'Brien, although a superb drummer, was a little too aggressive/harsh in his drumming during, for example, "Yesterday Once More" which unfortunately takes some attention away from the beauty of Karen's magnificent singing! He needed to adopt a softer, less harsh touch when drumming on the Carpenters' ballads!
Agreed .I always felt the drumming on that song was to heavy handed and it needed the Hal Blaine touch
I wonder why the Carpenters were (still) so popular in Japan, Philippines too?
That's true for some other artists as well, for example Jimmy Osmond. Part of it is that Japan will have a different concept of "cool" versus the USA. Also they will have a different concept of "uncool." I think Japan was less enamored by the piercings, purple hair, sneering, of punk rock, which in the USA was a major factor in making older acts look uncool.
Also Japan is more uni-ethnic than is the USA, less exposed to ethnic influences that may seem more hip and make white culture look less groovy.
What's special about Karen and Richard is that they grew up in Downey, CA - a decent, modest neighborhood. The city is known for having the oldest McDonald's that's still in existence.
Uma das músicas mais lindas do mundo ❤❤❤ não sei pq ainda não a usaram para propagandas educativas
Studebaker Avanti????? Oh, be still my heart!
Karen needle pointed that pillow?!😮
I believe it was Richard who decided she needed to come out from behind the drums.
Karen was smiling, so genuinely happy behind those drums.
