Nochiura Natsumi (後浦なつみ?) is a trio within the Hello! Project that was formed in 2004. The members were Maki Goto, Aya Matsuura and Natsumi Abe.
This was a soloist group similar to Gomattou and released only one single, "Renai Sentai Shitsu Renjā" (恋愛戦隊シツレンジャー love squadron ranger?), on 6 October 2004. Like Gomattou, the name of the group was made up from parts of the names of the members: "Nochi-" (後?) the first character in Maki Goto (後藤?)'s surname, "-ura" (浦?) the last character in Aya Matsuura (松浦?)'s surname, and Natsumi (なつみ?) 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 phenomenon of super sentai. All three members later participated in the similarly themed group DEF.DIVA.
