——————————————————————

Abe Natsumi was one of the original members of Morning Musume, and she became the front girl and face of the group for several years, leading most of the early songs. Abe graduated from Morning Musume in January 2004 to concentrate on her solo career.

In November 2004, Abe was suspended for plagiarism after it was revealed that some of the poetry and other written work released by her had been taken from other sources and passed off as her own. She returned in February 2005 with a public apology, and has continued her musical career.

In early 2008 she release a single with Yajima Maimi.

Part 3:

I’m dissapointed of this coz their management are obviously didn’t believe in Current Gen and calls the OGs to appear by their side. I hope for an appearance of Momusu without the OGs in UTABAN and brings back the funny moment of Momusu into UTABAN. However, the presence of LinLin and JunJun maybe could survive them with their genuine reactions towards both the old man ^^; . This eps won’t get more funny if the old eps VTR are not replay. And if the OGs are not there, there’ll not enough laugh in the studio.
However, overall is good with all the funny moment and the ‘NAKAI’ moment.
