Natsumi Abe
"Best! Morning Musume 2" would be the last full-length CD release to feature Natsumi Abe, who graduated from the group earlier in the year. Also, unlike the first singles compilation, graduated members Abe, Maki Goto and Kei Yasuda are all represented both on the cover and in the liner notes. The album comes with a large badge and comes in a special package.
