I don't think there's any mystery to Duty at all
I think it's actually one of ayu's most open and honest albums ever (next to A Song for XX and MY STORY)
At the time, ayu was dealing with "fame issues" after all eyes were on her
She became very famous - very fast, after the first 2 albums and she didn't know what to think
Its like she was saying (with Duty and to herself): "wow I'm famous now. Everyone knows me, my songs, and my lyrics. They know I'm good at this - they expect me to perform but what if I don't want to anymore? It's like I'm trapped in my career but its great - its what I want, isn't it? I'm in a cage but everything around me is fine. I have everything I want right here - attention and pretty things. I do it all for them - I'll be free later"
It's often not listed as a fan favorite because I think most people forget about it. The album only had 3 singles (5 if you count the limited SURREAL and AUDIENCE)
And plus it came out less than a year after LOVEppears so it was like WHOA!
But yeah that's what I think anyway
I don't think the cat suit really means anything other than MEOW I'm supafemme sexy. I think she could've put on a penguin suit and still pull it off
