Pathcreate Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takaaki Iihara) will run advertisements on all cars of the Sendai City Subway Namboku Line from Wednesday, April 1, to Thursday, April 30, 2026.
By broadcasting on a major transit line recording an average of approximately 187,000 passengers daily, we aim to create an opportunity to turn fertility efforts—historically 'shouldered alone and often hidden'—into a 'new normal for fertility' that is warmly embraced by society as a whole.
*Based on data published by the Sendai City Transportation Bureau.
Background: Turning 'Personal Struggles' into 'Societal Norms'
In modern society, taking steps regarding future family planning and health is a highly personal domain. Because it is so important, people tend to find it difficult to discuss with others and lock it away as an individual issue.
This background is also connected to SDGs Goal 3: 'Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.'
By creating opportunities to encounter this information along daily routes like commuting to work or school, Pathcreate redefines fertility efforts not as 'something special' or 'something to hide,' but as a 'new standard' that anyone can naturally choose.
Ad Placement Overview
- Placement Period: Wednesday, April 1 to Thursday, April 30, 2026
- Placement Location: Above the doors on all cars of the Sendai City Subway Namboku Line (Lintel ads)
Product Information
[About the Fertility Kit 'meeta']
This is an at-home syringe kit designed for couples for whom sexual intercourse is difficult due to various reasons, such as busy schedules or physical strain.
Under medical supervision, it features a shape design accommodating the physique of Japanese women and adopts a smooth tampon-style container.
The usage is simple, allowing for 'easy 3 steps' from semen collection to injection, and is designed so as not to require special knowledge or equipment.
*Individual differences exist in usability and perception.
Our Thoughts: Making Familiar Choices a Comforting Presence
Pathcreate's initiative is not merely aimed at providing products.
By making them available at drugstores, etc.
