The seventh studio album, titled "Mitsumai Koi" (Love at a Glance), continues to support the popularity of the late Carpenters.
The album includes "The Brilliance of Youth," which was the theme song for the TV drama "Minor," "Goofus," the title song "Love We Look at Each Other," and "Sad Longing," which was a hit in Japan.
This album was released at a time when the Carpenters' problems, such as anorexia and addiction to sleeping pills, were becoming more apparent, but its musical appeal captivated fans, and although it wasn't a huge hit, it offers a glimpse into the band's inner self.
