Abe Natsumi was one of the original five members of Morning Musume. She often took the lead in its 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 and 8 solo singles.

Abe has participated in many Hello! Project shuffle units and groups, the latest being DEF.DIVA.

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