"Konichiwa Bitches" was the first UK single to be released off Swedish pop singer-songwriter Robyn's 2005 self-titled album. The single was not released in Sweden as the song was used to re-introduce Robyn to UK audiences.

The single received little airplay and the video received little video play, resulting in the single making number one-hundred and fifty-three in the UK Singles Chart. However, due to the popularity of the album's second single "With Every Heartbeat" in the United Kingdom, "Konichiwa Bitches" achieved a new peak there, climbing to number ninety-eight. Also at forty-nine in Australia.
