Hot take
Line Music is a leading digital streaming platform in Japan, leveraging the massive popularity of LINE’s messaging app to offer a localized, user-friendly music experience. It integrates seamlessly with the LINE ecosystem, allowing users to easily share music and discover trending tracks with friends. Independent artists can find value in its ability to connect with younger, tech-savvy listeners in one of Asia’s key markets. However, Line Music's international reach and music catalog are limited compared to global giants like Spotify or Apple Music, and royalty rates remain somewhat opaque. The platform can feel isolated for those seeking broader global exposure, but for targeting the Japanese market, it’s a strong choice.
