... So that's why it was Team Traffic Light. God, I'm so slow~
And that's why I keep wondering why it's a blue instead of a green.
This might be wrong, but I remember being told some time ago that traffic lights in Japan actually do use blue, or at least the colour is called blue in Japanese. Again, going from second-hand knowledge here so possibly wrong.
Not so wrong. They use green lights, but the word 青(あお, = cyan)(append い for the adjective) does refer both blue AND (bluish) green. As for 藍(あい, = blue), its usage is rather rarer in common spoken Japanese.
