Natsumi Abe was among the original & most popular members of Morning hours Musume, a formidable Japan girl pop business which has burned through many decades of performers since its inception in 1997. Abe “graduated” from Morning hours Musume in 2004, and has generated a decent single profession since, plying the same lovely J-pop wares. Abe was created on Hokkaido in 1981. She made a decision to become a vocalist after the melody “Chiisana Koro Kara” by “lovely punk” symbols Judy & Mary helped her to draw through bullying in middle college, although she didn’t move the punk path. In 1997, she finished up among the runner-ups for the positioning of the feminine vocalist in Sharam Q, and she and four various other finalists became the first era of Morning hours Musume, with Abe quickly changing Iida Kaori as the primary vocalist from the music group.

In 2003, Abe teamed up with Yosumi Keiko, previously of Rokusenmon, release a the solitary Haha to Musume no Duet Music, as well as the same yr she debuted single with 22sai no Watashi, which charted at number 2. After leaving Morning hours Musume, Abe lost no time liberating her first recording, Hitori Bocchi (2004); it peaked at number 2, and two singles off the record damaged the very best Ten. In 2004, she was captured plagiarizing another “idol’s” picture publication, but her suspension system with her administration company, Up-Front Company, lasted significantly less than a yr, and in 2005, her return one Yume Naraba reached a good amount six. Next, Abe performed in the play Takaramono beneath the name “Sen”, and released the one Takaramono under that moniker, but she fell it for the next record, 2nd Shimiwataru Omoi, which have scored at amount nine. The 2006 one, Amasugita Kajitsu, charted at amount five, and another, THE STRAIN — a cover of Moritaka Chisato’s 1988 melody — reached amount 14. She limited herself for an EP in 2007, and in 2008 she documented 16sai no Koi Nante with Yajima Maimi from C-ute. In ’09 2009 ,Abe “graduated” from Hello! Task, but continued to be with Up-Front Company.
