Nochiura Natsumi

Encyclopedia : N : NO : NOC : Nochiura Natsumi

is a trio within the Hello! Project that was formed in 2004. The members were Maki Goto, Aya Matsuura and Natsumi Abe. The group was a soloist shuffle group similar to Gomattou and released only one single, , on 6 October 2004. Also, like Gomattou, the name of the group was made up from parts of the names of the members:  the first character in Maki 's surname,  the last character in Aya 's surname, and  Abe's first name. The trio was scheduled to perform together on NHK's 55th Kouhaku Uta Gassen, but Abe was suspended from Hello! Project for plagiarism in December 2004, so Goto and Matsuura had to perform without her. The trio reunited for the "Triangle Energy" concert tour in spring 2005. Both the song itself and in particular the music video for "Renai Sentai Shitsu Renjā" pays homage to the Japanese cultural phenomenom of super sentai. All three members later participated in the similarly themed shuffle group DEF.DIVA.
