普通の女の子５人組がスパイになって石巻を悪から救う物語、それが「女の子スパイ☆いしの まき」。「いしの まき」は、悪者「わるだ くみ」たちと戦うが、任務を終えるとそれまでの記憶をすべて失い、自分たちが身体をはって街の平和を守っていることも忘れてしまう。「女の子スパイ☆いしの まき」は、これまで紙芝居劇で、「つるの湯祭り」（２０１３年４月28日＠大嶋神社）、「石巻メガフェス」（２０１３年８月11日＠中瀬）にて、演劇版が、２０１４年３月１日、石巻子どもセンターで初めて上演された。演劇版は、災害時に役立つ防災知識を子ども目線で伝えていく活動になっている。今回の「新聞紙編」では、新聞紙をまるめてお腹の中に入れると温かくなる、新聞紙を折り畳んでいくとスリッパができるなど、実演を交えたものにした。これからも、いろいろなテーマで「女の子スパイ☆いしの まき」は上演されていくので、ぜひ見てほしい。「いしの まき」は石巻だけでなく、日本や世界も悪から救うかもしれない。彼女たちにどんな戦いが待っているのか。これからも「女の子スパイ☆いしの まき」を応援したい。

Girl Spies ☆ Ishino Maki

Presenting how to make room shoes out of a newspaper!
“Girl Spies ☆ Ishino Maki” tells the story of a group of ordinary girls becoming spies to rescue Ishinomaki from evil. “Ishino Maki” fight the baddies ‘Waruda Kumi’ and their sinister ploys, but upon finishing their mission they lose their memory, forgetting that they risked their lives to protect the town and keep the peace.
Up till now, the story of “Girl Spies ☆ Ishino Maki” was presented as a picture storytelling during Tsuru no Yu Festival (April 28, 2013 @ Oshima Shrine) and Ishinomaki Mega Festival (August 11, 2013 @ Nakaze City).
A stage version was performed for the first time in Ishinomaki Child Centre on March 1, 2014.The stage version conveys knowledge about disaster prevention and safety tips in an approachable, child-friendly way and from the child’s perspective. This time’s “Newspaper Edition” featured everything to do with a newspaper. Entwined into the actual performance were interesting facts that it could warm you up if you wrap it around your stomach, or that you can make slippers by folding it.
There are more performances of “Girl Spies ☆ Ishino Maki” plays with a variety of themes to come, and I can’t recommend them enough. The ‘Ishino Maki’ rescue not only their town from evil, but perhaps also Japan and the world as well.
What kind of battles await the girls? I know for myself that I want to cheer the “Girl Spies ☆ Ishino Maki”on.
