Life and career
In 1998 Satomi was given the Best New Actress, Third Place award at the Pink Grand Prix for her role in the Kokuei pink film 人妻と愛人 不倫ハメ覗き. The following year, her role in Yutaka Ikejima's Wolf Teacher 3: The Smell of School Uniforms (ザ・痴漢教師３ 制服の匂い, Za chikan kyōshi 3: seifuku no nioi) (1999) earned her the Best Actress award at the ceremony. An interview with Satomi was the main feature of the September 1999 issue of P*G magazine, the leading journal covering the pink film genre.
Also in 1999 she appeared (as Saki Shiratori) with male AV-star Chocoball Mukai in Shungo Kaji's mock documentary film, Ekiben, a spoof of the AV industry which was shown at the Berlin International Film Festival. In a review of the film the U.S. publication Variety noted that Shiratori's performance as the director's "discovery" was especially good. AllRovi calls it a "funny and oddly poignant film". Satomi won her second Best Actress award for her performance in Mamoru Watanabe's Young Wive's Pleasure Lessons: Enslaved (若妻快楽レッスン 虜, Wakazuma kairaku ressun: toriko) (2001). Satomi was again the lead feature of P*G magazine in October 2002. This issue devoted a 57-page article to the five-year span of her career up to that time, and included another interview.
