[00:00:00]Some traffic lights in Japan look blue instead of green, and I thought that was just a camera thing, but it actually comes from language. In Japanese, the word ao can be used for blue, and it was also used for green in everyday speech.

[00:00:12]So, even today, people call the green light blue. It sounds weird at first, but it's kind of cool how language can change the way people [music] see normal things.
