Good things about Line Securities:

• 3 free stocks
• Can buy 1 stock (instead of minimum 100)
• Can use Line points for investing
• Limited-time sale​ of stocks (up to 7% off)

Bad things about Line Securities:

• No English
• Limited functions
• Limited investment options
• No NISA

I successfully opened an account with them. I believe there is an extra step as a non-Japanese as they sent me a form requesting a paper copy of my residence card.

FYI Monex and SBI will let you buy single shares or Japanese stock. They also have limited off-market sale of stock sold at a discount.

Are you using this to actively trade over more reputable brokers like Monex and Rakuten, or were you mostly after the freebies and point investing?

What stocks were gifted?

My main brokers are SBI and Rakuten.
Yes, freebies and investing points are major reasons for opening an account with LINE.
I have quite a few LINE points from before, so this is a great use of those.
I'm also interested in the discount stocks and IPO offerings.

What stocks were gifted?

I think free stocks will vary depending on when you open an account.
Options I had was stocks with a price right under 1000 yen:

• 日清紡ホールディングス （3105）
• 楽天グループ （4755）
• エラン （6099）
• ジェイテクト （6473）
• ＭＣＪ （6670）
• 日本郵政 （6178）
• 日野自動車 （7205）
• リコー （7752）
• 中国銀行 （8382）
• ゼンリン （9474）
• 中国電力 （9504）

Interesting, I may give it a go! May I ask why you have so many line points? I am not familiar with the Line ecosystem. Is it from using Linepay perhaps?

Yes, points mainly rack up from spending on my LINE Pay credit card which earns 2% points (at the moment).
It's one of my main cards used for daily expenses.
