Here's some information:
1) According to the Richard's commentary on GOLD in "40th Box Set",
The video of "There's A Kind of Hush" was shot in Osaka 1976,
It was shot by Japanese crew, AFTER the concert.
The filming did not take time, because it was Lip-Sync.
2) Carpenters came to Japan, November 20, 1970, as a guest performer
on "The 1st Tokyo International Popular Song Festival".

Unfortunately "Close To You", "We've Only Just Begun" were not big hits in Japan.
So, most Japanese did not know who the Carpenters are...
Anyway, they played about 20 minutes. The following is the setlist.
1. Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing
2. All I Can Do
3. Ticket To Ride
4. Sacre Bleu (I Fell In Love With You)
5. Cinderella Rockefella
6. We've Only Just Begun
7. Bacharach/David Medley (short version like Tan album)
8. (They Long To Be) Close To You
I guess, this performance may have been recorded.
But, I have never seen the bootleg of this performance...
