History

Abe Natsumi often took the lead in Morning Musume songs, on occasion singing the entire lead vocal with the other girls acting as backup singers. In 2004, she graduated from the group to pursue a solo career.

In 2003, Abe teamed up with Yosumi Keiko, a former member of Rokusenmon, as a so-called "mother and daughter" duo and released a single to prepare her for her solo efforts. To date she has released two albums, one mini album, and nine solo singles.

In late 2004 she was temporarily suspended for plagiarism, but as of early 2005, she is once again recording and performing.

Abe has participated in many Hello! Project shuffle units and groups, the latest being Morning Musume Tanjou 10nen Kinentai.
