"Furusato" (ふるさと?) (meaning 'Hometown') was the sixth single of J-pop idol group Morning Musume, released July 14, 1999 as an 8 cm CD. It has sold a total of 170,670 copies. In 2004 it was re-released as part of the Early Single Box and again in 2005 as a 12 cm CD. Lead vocals of this single were Natsumi Abe.
Furusato has since become a Morning Musume/Hello! Project standard, with many Morning Musume members having sung their own solo versions. As of September 2005, versions by Nozomi Tsuji, Mari Yaguchi, Ai Takahashi and Risa Niigaki were released to fan club members, while Yuko Nakazawa has done an acoustic version on her second solo album, and Natsumi Abe has rerecorded it for her 2004 solo album Hitoribocchi.
