Konichiwa Records is a record label founded by Swedish pop singer Robyn. The label has only one other artist signed, Zhala. The name "Konichiwa" is derived from the Japanese greeting こんにちは (Konnichi wa (with 2 n's)), meaning "hello" or "good day" (literally "this day is"). Amid the mid 1990's teen-marketed dance-pop renaissance that emerged from the cultural backlash and commercial slowdown in both North America and Europe to the grunge and Britpop waves, respectively, building tension regarding numerous creative differences between Robyn and RCA to capitalize on her rising star-power in the late 1990's, then between her and new label Jive (later bought by the former) in the early 2000's on her sonic, songwriting and aesthetic direction lead to Robyn striking out on her own, buying out of the latter contract and starting her own label entirely. Distribution deals with other major labels were later set up that wouldn't impact many of the creative decisions she wished to make for her records. More information...
