  There's nothing inherently wrong with stores open odd hours. Some people like to keep odd hours, some have to because of the nature of their job (a lot of maintenance/repair/cleaning stuff is done at night), so some stores being open works with that. And of course there are places like clubs where night hours make more sense. This situation in Japan seems unusual, usually a business would only stay open late if there was actually a reasonable amount of demand at that time.
