Pranks You Can Do on LINE: A Collection of Tricks to Enjoy with Friends or Your Partner (1–10)
Prank about losing my phone
https://www.tiktok.com/@m_kkk0017/video/6957719512925965569As a funny prank, the “I lost my phone” prank is also popular.
In this one, you ask the target to call your phone because you’ve ‘lost’ it.
After they try calling a few times, you hit them with, “Then how are we chatting on LINE?” See if they catch on quickly.
However, since LINE can now be used from a computer, there’s a chance the misunderstanding won’t be cleared up.
Use this prank in moderation.
You have a new message
When a notification comes in on LINE, the home screen shows “You have a new message,” right? Using that, there’s a prank called the “You have a new message” prank.
The method is very simple: you just keep sending the phrase “You have a new message.” The other person will think they can’t view the chat properly and start to panic.
If they think it through, they’ll realize that message never appears in the chat screen itself, but it’ll take them a while to notice.
It could also work well combined with other pranks.
Incoming call prank

First, when you’re alone with your partner, play a LINE ringtone you’ve downloaded.
When they notice the “call,” tell them, “I’m not going to answer right now.” Your partner will probably start suspecting you of cheating and try to check who’s calling, so that’s when you reveal the prank.
Your acting skills matter a lot here, so run through it in your head beforehand.
It’s also recommended because you can see their reaction directly.

idolYOASOBI
The hugely popular song “Idol,” the theme of the hit anime Oshi no Ko, is also perfect for a lyrics prank.
In particular, the first verse’s A-melody uses a series of questions, so the person you’re pranking might politely answer them one by one (lol).
Other parts of the song touch on topics like romance and self-deprecating humor, so you could also snip out sections and use them for the prank.
Just note that it’s a very famous song, so it’s best to try this on someone who will play along even if they realize it’s a lyrics prank!
Overseas Travel Prank
This is a prank where you send your friends a fake report and live updates saying you’re about to head off on an overseas trip, and enjoy seeing how long it takes them to catch on.
To make it feel like you’re really on the move in real time, reply with delays that match how long travel procedures would actually take.
Just words can feel less convincing, so it’s also recommended to include photos—either from the internet or from your past trips.
The more prep you do in advance—like getting photos ready and researching how long check-in, procedures, and flights take—the more convincing your fake travel updates will be.
It’s nothing.Macaroni Enpitsu
Try sending the lyrics of Macaroni Enpitsu’s “Nandemonai yo,” which gently speak to the cherished parts of a beloved person.
Since the content spills out one’s own helplessness while murmuring affection, it can also draw out how the other person feels about you.
The expressions of love gradually grow toward the chorus, so it’s also a fun point to see whether they can respond to that properly.
It’s enjoyable to have them react to each line, but if you group a few phrases together before sending, it might add a reflective element and change the way they respond.
Biri MillionYuri
“Biri-Million” by the hugely popular singer-songwriter Yuri is a song with the message: even if someone offered to buy 50 years of your life for 5 or 10 billion yen, you wouldn’t want to sell—because your life right now is worth more than that.
With its conversational tone from the very first lines and thought-provoking content, it naturally lends itself to being used for a ‘lyrics prank.’ Through a lyrics prank, you might find yourself appreciating the song’s appeal all over again.

I introduced some pranks you can pull using LINE.
