She started her dancing lessons at the age of 3. In 2003, at the age of 14, she started singing when her dancing teacher asked her to join a vocal training program. As soon as autumn of the same year she was signed to management, and in February 2005, "Love Shouts" was pre-released exclusively in the Kyushu area where Satomi was based.

In January 2005, at the precious age of 15, she was chosen to perform live at MIDEM, after beating many established names in Japan. This live performance was documented in a national newspaper and has been the center of attention of the Japanese media ever since.

As the first artist to be released on the Hiptones label, and under the guidance of the people behind UK’s legendary Creation label, Satomi was able to work with UK’s leading producers. This led to her showcase at the world famous venue Ronnie Scotts, in front of more than 100 people from the UK media in May 2005, making her, at the age of 16, the youngest and possibly first ever Japanese artist to be solo showcased in the UK. Her performance was well received, and in June 2005, "Toxic Love" was pre-released in a vinyl only format.

In 2006, Satomi debuted in Japan as SATOMI', releasing her first double a-side MAXI single 'Yesterday/Love to stay' in February. Satomi continued to release and record tracks in both the United Kingdom and Japan in early 2006. It was not until the release of her third double a-side MAXI single, "Orange canvas ~Aki no Sora no Shita de~ / Fairy's stick", that Satomi made the Oricon top 100 charts, debuting at #81.

Satomi released her first Japanese full album, "Diamondlily", in February 2007, jumping to the #15 spot on its initial release day.

Orange Canvas ~秋の空のしたで~
SATOMI' Lyrics

遠すぎる空見上げた瞳より
きっと伸ばした手が涙する
遠回りして見つけた光なら
きっと輝きに満ちている
会いたい時会えなくて
ため息がまた一つ
居場所間違ってるのかな
不安で乱れる心

待ち遠しかった春は過ぎて
夏は流れ秋を迎えて
温もりは眠り夢見てる
とけこむ儚さ
綺麗に羽で飛べたなら
目で追いかけた鳥のように
道の途中で目を覚ました
あなたと同じ風
聴こえてくる心のノートから
あなたの声なつかしくて
オレンジのクレヨンで
描いた絵は褪せてく
それでも笑い声は
変わらずに揺れていた
二人の私が交差する
階段をのぼってく勇気と
弱さゆえに降りてゆく影
さらわれそうな夢
一人ぼっちで通る道は
唄いながら歩いてくよ
枯葉や落ち葉の真ん中で
コスモスになれたら
木の葉回る足下で遊ぶよ
ささやくほど吹かれてゆく
都会の方隅からこの願いを...
ショウウィンドウに映ってる
寂しがりやで泣き虫な願い
「一人でも大丈夫」なんて
もう言えやしないだろう
綺麗に羽で飛べたなら
目で追いかけた鳥のように
道の途中で目を覚ました
あなたと同じ風
一人ぼっちで通る道は
唄いながら歩いてくよ
枯葉や落ち葉の真ん中で
コスモスになれたら
遠すぎる空見上げた瞳より
きっと伸ばした手が涙する

遠回りして見つけた光なら
きっと輝きに満ちている

The singer of the song has been searching for someone to fill the void in their life, reaching out for help but feeling like they’re in the wrong place. The lines “会いたい時会えなくて　ため息がまた一つ　居場所間違ってるのかな　不安で乱れる心” (At times I want to see you but can’t, another sigh escapes my lips. Am I in the wrong place? My heart is in turmoil.) capture this feeling of isolation and uncertainty.
