I had a quick phone interview with them. Where instead of calling me on my phone number they wanted line instead. I asked why and the excuse was it’s easier to reach me.
This one also has some reviews on Google as recently as 2 months ago.
Why they use 2 company names, I don’t know.
It could be because Line calls are free unlike a normal phone call. If they are using a mobile phone to call from, they could be charged 22yen/30 seconds on a MVNO network. A thirty minute interview can get pretty expensive if they are calling multiple candidates.

Nothing weird about having an interview via LINE. Have done it plenty of times.
I haven’t heard of them, but after researching, two companies are registered at the same address.
The other one is Sparta Eikaiwa:
