Company Information
Rakuten Group, Inc. provides services in e-commerce, fintech, digital content, and communications to various users in Japan and internationally.
Their point system is all over the country so chances are anyone who lives in Japan is at least aware of them. Their Rakuten Ichiba is probably the biggest competition to Amazon here, and they keep expanding into new ventures. This includes Rakuten Mobile, which has been the bane of the company's financials.

Requirements
Comment
The SIM doesn't require any kind of contract and will automatically disable once the time is up, so you don't have to worry about starting a contract with Rakuten Mobile. Getting free mobile service for a full year is certainly a great perk whether you cancel your main line for this or just use it as a second line. Recently Rakuten has been changing their perks every year so don't count on it being something that's going to last forever!
Chart
After that apparently awful IPO, Rakuten has slowly been going up and down. This latest downturn is due to Rakuten Mobile being a big loser for them, but eventually they hope it'll be profitable! I guess we'll have to see, if they don't fix the bleeding in the next few years the company will be in big trouble!
