Typhoon Light Balls are a group of giant balls that continuously turn as they float and sink. When they are pushed by a person or recieve an impact, they change color and produce a tone unique to that color. 


When the surrounding balls are pushed over by people moving through, or when they receive an impact, they change color and shine brightly, producing a tone. 

Similarly, when the surrounding balls receive an impact, they also change color and shine brightly, producing a tone unique to that color. The balls around them respond one after another, continuously changing to the same color and emitting the same tone.


The Typhoon Light Balls and their surrounding balls can change into a total of twelve colors that can only be produced by light - nine blurred colors (light in water, sunlight on water plants, morning glow, morning sky, sky at twilight, peach, plum, iris, and spring maple), and three flattening colors (red, green, and blue), producing a total of twelve colors.
