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.
Yesterday
SATOMI' Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君はもういないよ サヨナラ
Memories I'm alone I'm alone
明日を夢見てた
君以外 街の中で
帰るトコなんてない
始発まで彷徨っても
結局は君を探してた
いつもぶつけて
何でも言えたから
キズつけた夜もあった
置き去りにしたまま
ずっと言えずにいた事
今 君へ届けてha----
Lovin' you もう一度抱きしめて
何もなかったように あの頃へ
Memories 離れてわかったよ
やさしさも愛も
真夜中抜け出して 語り明かしたね
(I was with you)
あの朝見た朝焼けが
まぶたの奥 今も滲むよ
どんくらい涙こぼせば
君のすべて忘れるの?
教えて ha----
Yesterday ふたりでひとつだった
季節は戻らない 叫んでも
Memories 色褪せぬ想い出は
やがて星になる
見かけない鳥たちが
あの日ふたりで見てた空へ
高く高く
旅立つ勇気を 胸に感じて
飛び立っていこう
今 明日へと
Yesterday Once again Once again
君はもういないよ サヨナラ
Memories I'm alone I'm alone
明日を夢見てた
Yesterday ----
ふたりは帰らない 叫んでも
Memories ----
出逢えてよかった
Yesterday
The lyrics of SATOMI's song Yesterday express feelings of nostalgia, longing, and regret. The singer reminisces about their past experiences with a loved one who is no longer with them, and the memories continue to haunt them. They can't seem to let go and move on, even though they know they need to. The line "満たされないこころ" (unsatisfied heart) expresses this sense of longing and unfulfillment they feel. The singer also mentions that they used to be able to say anything to their loved one, even hurting each other at times, but now they are left with things unsaid.
The chorus of the song, with lines like "Lovin' you もう一度抱きしめて" (hold me again like you did in the past) and "何もなかったように あの頃へ" (to the time when we were together with no issues), highlights the singer's desire to go back in time and relive the happier moments of their relationship. However, the following lines "Memories 離れてわかったよ やさしさも愛も" (now that we're apart, I realize how much your kindness and love meant to me) imply that the experience has allowed them to gain perspective and appreciate even more what they once had. The final lines of the song repeat "Yesterday" and "Memories" but also include "出逢えてよかった" (I'm glad we met), suggesting that even though the relationship is over, the singer still cherishes the memories they made together.

歌手のhitomiが珍しくテレビで歌ってるの見てふと思い出して聞きに来た。朝焼け時に聴くのが大好きだった曲。SATOMiはじめてラジオで聞いた時は衝撃でこのしっとりさ堪らないし、若いのにしっとり歌いこなせてるのも、声もかっこいーと思った。
