On the Hitachi / Tokiwa limited express trains, the light system seen here tells you if the seat is reserved. Green means its reserved and someone should be in it. Amber means it is reserved but from an upcoming stop. Red (not shown) means it is not reserved at all. I had no reservation so sat in a couple of amber seats and checked if the light went green, it did twice so I moved.
