But if you register your email address or facebook account, your information is then tied to one of those two things and not your phone number so you can change numbers without any problem provided you stick with the same OS. If you look at the question メールアドレス登録とは?on the same page it explains.
アプリ内でメールアドレス登録をすると、機種変更や電話番号を変更した場合でも、現在ご利用のLINEアカウントを引き継ぐことができます。 ※引き継ぎ時は[LINEユーザーログイン]が必要です。 また、PC版LINEやLINEウェブストアをご利用いただけるようになります。
LINEアカウントには、「友だち」の情報や、購入した有料アイテム、ゲームの成績などが紐付いていますので、まだメールアドレス登録がお済みでない場合には、是非メールアドレスをご登録ください。
メールアドレス登録の手順は、下記のヘルプをご参照ください。

So long as my LINE account is tied to my gmail, it should be fine then? Not sure if I'll have the same "OS" though. Turns out I'll be moving to Tokyo at the end of the year, and will be changing phones at that time. I'm using LINE on my iPod now, but I don't know if I can afford an iPhone from either Softback or Docomo so it's all up in the air with this...

It's only the coin balance that doesn't carry over though, so I guess if you have a lot of coins make sure you use them before you move?

Well, I didn't even know that LINE had a coin-point system, so I think I'll be okay!

Okay, so apparently refreshing the page doesn't show the second page.
As I interpret it:
Q1 [Can I carry over my previous account information after I change my device?] You can carry over your account information only if you have performed either of the following on your old device BEFORE changing to a new one.
(Email/Facebook linking)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q2 [Can I change my registered phone number?] Sorry. Once you have registered a phone number, it cannot be changed. If you have to change your phone number, please uninstall and then re-install LINE and go through the verification process again.
*Please note that your chat history will be deleted by doing the above. *Once you verify your account with another phone number, your Friends list including Groups will be deleted.
(Email/Facebook link doesn't matter, you will lose all)
So yea, the first about the email/facebook link is about changing DEVICES, while the second is about changing NUMBERS.
--------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I hope you're right, because the FAQ sections conflict with each other and they don't reference to each other either (eg. "Look at Q1 if you have attached an email/facebook" or something of that sort)
The FAQ for the previous question states the same thing in English, and I doubt there's any reason for a different FAQ for in/outside of Japan, so I'll just refer to the English wiki .

Ah, I managed to find the corresponding article on the English helpsite. Do ignore my previous post (besides the refreshing part)
What is email registration? After registering an email and password to your LINE account on your smartphone, you can carry over all your previous LINE account information when you change your mobile device or phone number by performing LINE User Login on the new device or phone number. You will also be able to use the PC version of LINE and LINE Web Store in regions where it is available.
I guess there's no problems then, as even the English help site has an identical clause

Oh man, that scared me for a second! Thanks for researching all this for me, I really do appreciate it! Good to know that I can safety change my phone AND phone number without losing all my contacts! I could care less about the conversations I have, but my contact list is kinda priceless haha. Thank you very much, Iso!
