[BellaSilvery]

omg she was sooooo pretty :'( Gosh I miss her

[itsstillfriday]

My Lord, Karen is just the ultimate Pin-Up girl for me!! Whooo! I adore that rich voice of her's... Her humor, stage presence, ... and he Brother's brilliant arranging, composing and production work...!! :-)

[famousamos]

She was so pretty...gone too soon :(

[Keezie27]

They both have such nice smiles! And I've always noticed that Karen had really nice hands! lol It's true, her nails were always polished and immaculate looking. Very cute jingle and commercial. I love The Carpenters!

[Lindawatcher]

@Keezie27 Yes, and she gave nice handjobs with those nice hands.... to her brother they say....

[oneofthejapanese]

There were four pieces of chocolates in the small box, but I cannot find this box now anywhere, as I cannot hear her songs.

[7466309change]

ok not aware instantly thought ah cigerrets.Karen was very beautifull sensitive and strong willed.

[daynolism]

Karen's very pretty here... i adore her...

[goldhunting]

Those Japanese really love to smoke. Even candies look better to them in a cigarette box. Interesting.

[morrissey102]

title of the song please?

[dragythuno]

lol what? after all the pearly white teeth and love for white suits and flowers it's an ad for fags? haha

[quatros1000]

From the cigarettes comes the cancer.

[arfies]

@quatros1000 LOL... but this ad was actually for Hi-Crown chocolates, which looked like they came in a cigarette box.

[quatros1000]

@arfies OMG! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

[millvalleyrn]

If the ad was for cigarettes, why didn't they just smoke on the beach?

[GodsPrincess4Ever]

I was a baby when this was made

[wawakcar]

@GodsPrincess4Ever i was not even a baby when this was made

[GodsPrincess4Ever]

I wish Karen and Richard could have recorded this as a whole song

[Greenspots84]

Thank you very much for uploading this. I really appreciate it. :)

[reymatt76]

It said chocolate, but I swear this was for cigarettes. Japan continued tobacco advertising well after the U.S. stopped TV ads in 1971.

[rbrown540]

@reymatt76 When the product appears at the end of the commercial, the words "Milk Chocolate" appear below "Hi-Crown" on the box.

[mullatto027]

im crying...her voice really wants to make me cry, dang! i wish i was a teenager when this group was a hit. im only 29 yo but i am a huge fan!

[mnlght0snt]

Lovely :)

[vmuto1]

This is what an Angel look like. We miss our Karen Carpenter more than words can express.

[chijeii]

OH GOSH. i really miss her. i never get tired watching this. she was just so pretty!

[chijeii]

she's so lovely here...

[nfwlpw]

Horrible commercial, makes them look like newlyweds.

[SimplyLee1980]

Great..

[Starlifter88]

At :20 Karen looks like a REAL California girl. ((I know, I know . . . she was born in New Haven, CT.))

[trini3571]

[scodoguy]

It's a Chocolate comercial from Japan. It is on the dvd docu" Close to you Remembering the Carpenters", as an extra.. nice dvd.

[karencarpenterfan1]

are those cigarettes? or candy cigarettes

[imalittlemidget]

I thought that the first time I saw this on the dvd! I thought "KC advertising cigarettes!!!! No way!!!!" lol

[sandrasandiford1]

@karencarpenterfan1 LOL, you post made me laugh so , being that I HAD THE SAME REACTION! I am hoping and thinking they were candy cigarettes being that they had a squeaky clean image.

[windstorm1000]

@karencarpenterfan1 no, its chocalates. you think the squeaky clean CArpenters would do a cig commercial?????

[grobanist]

The music is beautiful! Karen and Richard look so natural and they seems like being themselves whole time. I miss them very much.

Thank you so much for shareing

the precious film.

[ecollopymd]

That voice! It is the BEST....The songs that were never sung.....I miss her, still.

[earcandy2008]

...a full length version would have undoubtedly been a hit single.

[yomama532]
