The achievement in 1998 of two historical trophies, the 7th European Cup and the Intercontinental Cup that was held in Tokyo, served as a trigger for a group of Japanese to decide to found an organization as typically Spanish as a rock. When that rock also has Real Madrid as a reference, the case becomes even more exceptional. The Japanese rock is since July 1998 the only Real Madrid player in Japan and the only one whose partners are, mostly, of Japanese origin. 'Many Japanese decided to be part of the rock when Real Madrid won the Intercontinental Cup, however, the president and founding members carried Real Madrid inside since they studied during their youth in Spain, and always had in the head the idea of founding some kind of association and, what better way to join that constituting a rock?', Says Seiko Okano, secretary of the Peña in Madrid. Japana are distributed throughout Japan, although Seiko from Madrid and the president from Osaka try by all means to keep all the reported peñists and up to date with everything that happens in the white club: “We edit a newsletter with the latest news and everything that I can get exclusively from here, we try to gather at least twice a year, and we organize trips to Madrid at least once a year and thus be able Possible: League matches, Champions League, etc... “It is very good, but it is something impossible for us for the time change, since the matches are sometimes broadcast at 2 or 3 in the morning and of course, at that time, all you can do is see it at home and also with headphones so as not to wake up to your family when the time comes to celebrate a goal. of relationship they have managed to establish with the club. Moments that will never be able to forget: the food they celebrated the year of its inauguration attended, among others, Lorenzo Sanz, the visit of Florentino Pérez in 2000 or being able to share their Real Madrid with the players themselves in the various visits that the Peña has made to the Sports City and the Santiago Bernabéu.
