"Ay, there's the rub"
A difficulty for me as well since I live in the -5 GMT zone.
Pairs can move anytime but generally;
The /jpy pairs seem to move throughout the day because of the US / Asian sessions. Also, take a look back on your hourly charts; alot of the time you'll see a swing roughly the same time of day.
The European session seems to start moving on average from about 1am to about 12pm my time, (10pm - 9am the next morning for you). My answer is to get up at 5am and catch it till it settles down and then keep watching the /jpy pairs the rest of the day.(I'm lucky, I have free time at work).
However you are three hours behind me so you could stay up a little late to catch the beginning and then get up early to catch the end. One way or another, there will be sleep lost (gotta make a sacrifice of some sort to succeed). You just need to figure out when would be good for you.
Hope this helps
