• Goto Maki (後藤真希)
• Matsuura Aya (松浦亜弥)
• Abe Natsumi (安倍なつみ)

History

Nochiura Natsumi was formed in 2004. Its members are Goto Maki and Matsuura Aya (both of whom were part of an earlier Hello! Project group, Gomattou), and Abe Natsumi. Abe was suspended for plagiarism in December of 2004, so Goto and Matsuura performed on NHK's 55th Kouhaku Uta Gassen without her. All three members performed together again in the "Triangle Energy" concert tour in spring of 2005.

Considering the fact that all 3 moved to the group DEF.DIVA in 2005 (along with Ishikawa Rika), Goto's graduation from Hello! Project in October of 2007 and overall inactivity concerning this unit, it is safe to assume they won't have any more releases.

Nochiura Natsumi released just one single, in October of 2004.

The Name

The name "Nochiura Natsumi" (後浦なつみ) is made from parts of the names of each of its members:

• • 後藤真希 (GOTO MAKI)*
  • 松浦亜弥 (MATSUURA AYA)
  • 安倍なつみ (ABE NATSUMI)

• Note that the kanji 後 is pronounced GO in Goto Maki's name, but changes to NOCHI in Nochiura Natsumi.
