The album's title is pronounced "fun-kyū", the latter half of the title referring to the Japanese equivalent of the numeral 9, and is intended to sound similar to the word "funk".[6][7]
Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote that Minekawa had produced a "more eclectic and polished" record while retaining her "playful musical vision", "[fashioning] a wide array of lush, lighthearted songs into an album that is as self-assured as it is fun".[3]
