{Best Vocal Climax: Minami}
3:51 to 4:59. In possibly my favorite performance of hers, Minami's vocals grow from a soft-yet-intense start to an impassioned, gasping frenzy, capping things off with an absolutely killer final note that pretty perfectly encapsulates the "climax" category imo.

{Best Soft Singing: Cassie Wei}
1:15 to 2:25, 2:36 to 3:11. Honestly, Momo here just naturally has a really light, clear, airy voice all the time, so it's no surprise that it shines when applied to a soft, tender ballad like this. Some gorgeously subtle vocal layers in here as well. Just a sweet, faintly melancholy love song aimed directly for the feels.
