An Otaku’s day starts early
Generally speaking, Japanese people are willing to endure a lot if it is in the service of achieving some goal. It's not out of the ordinary to wait several tens of minutes at a ramen place that is well known among salary men or at a pancake store that is popular with high school girls.
The same is true of the idol industry. To nab a good spot near the front during free concerts and events, enthusiastic fans start lining up at the venue in the early hours of the morning. Seeing your favorite idol up close is well worth the hardship of waking up early.
