The climax, I think, is near the ending where she raises her voice before the mini-instrumental break--around 3:10 (before it dies down again). That's why this song reminds me a lot of Kingyo Hanabi too---that one isn't really a power ballad...it was really rather mellow throughout the course of the song, with the buildup for the climax at the end.

I personally feel that the instrumental break should've been a little longer, but it's still good the way it is right now
