Duty Lyrics: Ayumi Hamasaki Composer: Ken Harada Arranger: Naoto Suzuki, Ken Harada Everyone is convinced that that "thing" they're searching for is in the future. But how many people have realized that "it" is actually in the past? I can't even guess. I saw the end of an era with my own eyes. But I didn't want to know that it's my turn next. If, after simplifying it a bit more, you think that "it" merely connects and arranges memories, then wouldn't everyone already have "it?" I want you to realize that. I saw the end of an era with my own eyes. And in truth, I actually do know that it's my turn next. You'll find me, won't you? I'm betting that you'll find me. I saw the end of an era with my own eyes. But I didn't want to know that it's my turn next.
