Juan Gabriel was a star of international stature and his songs were heard in different languages, one of them was Japanese. His hits “I don’t have money” and “I’m left alone” were the ones selected to be taken to the eastern country by Divo de Juárez himself, and if you don’t know the story of it, here we will tell you.
It happened at the end of the decade of the 70, according to the medium Verne , the songs were part of a project from the BMG label to introduce the singer-songwriter to the Asian market that finally didn’t work out. The funny thing about this is that Eduardo Magallanes, a producer with whom Juan Gabriel worked for more than 40 years, was not involved in the realization of these singles, as I was not working with him when they were recorded.
The approach to the songs was treated with great care and the pronunciation of the Divo was precise. Unfortunately the success he had in his native country was not repeated in Japan and Juan Gabriel did not get the first places in the Japanese popularity charts. Some believe that the poor response was due to the lack of advertising promotion, in addition to the fact that after the two singles an album was not finalized and the songs remained on the air.
These two songs were also recorded in Portuguese and although they did not have an explosive response from the public, they are now considered jewels by fans of Divo de Juárez.
