		For sure, this Upper House election will be a confidence vote by the Japanese public not only over what the Koizumi administration has done in terms of his imperfectly implemented reform agenda since he took office in April 2001, but also over his political mode of humanitarianism.
		So close to the election, Japanese voters, especially the non-affiliates, are not rallying behind the Koizumi administration as they did in the last Upper House election three years ago - just three months after Koizumi took the office at the pinnacle of his popularity.
		Elections to the Lower House, with four-year terms, will be held by November 2007.

	CNN.com - Poll result boosts Japanese stocks - Jul 11, 2004
		The coalition won a majority in the upper house elections, though gains by the opposition signaled discontent with Koizumi's cuts in pension benefits and deployment of troops to Iraq.
		The election also bolstered the emergence of a two-party political system in Japan, with the LDP increasingly balanced by the Democrats rather than easily dominating an opposition splintered into smaller groupings.
		Before the vote, the Liberal Democrats held 115 seats in the upper house and controlled a majority of seats together with partner Komeito's 23 seats.

	Japan Focus Article
		However, despite this generally poor result, the LDP and NKP were able to hold onto their two-party coalition majority in the Upper House on the back of their success in the 'Koizumi whirlwind' election of 2001.
		The election was marred by high voter disinterest and, as Yamaguchi discusses in the article, marked voter discontent over issues such as reform of the national pension program, and Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro's call for the dispatch of Japan's Self-Defence Forces (SDF) to Iraq to support the US-led multinational force.
		With 242 seats in the Upper House, the LDP held 115 and its ruling coalition partner the NKP had 24 seats.

	Japan Opposition may outdo ruling party in election: survey. 04/07/2004. ABC News Online
		Japan's main opposition Democratic Party could outperform Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's ruling party in next week's elections to Parliament's Upper House, but many voters are still undecided, according to fresh surveys.
		The LDP and its junior coalition partner, the New Komeito, cannot lose power as a result of the Upper House election, since it is the lower chamber that has the authority to elect the premier.
		A stunning LDP defeat in a 1998 Upper House election forced then-prime minister Ryutaro Hashimoto to step down.

		Japan is at the polls in upper house elections seen as a key test for Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi over unpopular pension reforms and his decision to keep troops in Iraq.
		Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said he will not resign as long as the ruling coalition secures a majority in the upper house election.
		Two of the most recognizable and controversial politicians in Japan, right-winger Muneo Suzuki of Hokkaido and left-winger Kiyomi Tsujimoto of Osaka, both running as independents after being convicted of criminal acts related to actions in office, have lost their bids to gain Upper House seats.

	Opposition leads in Japan upper house vote - Jul. 12, 2004
		TOKYO- Japan's ruling party appeared dealt a heavy setback as it trailed the country's opposition in early exit polls from Sunday's upper house elections that are seen as a test of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's unpopular pension reforms and his decision to keep troops in Iraq.
		The fiercely fought election campaign was underlined by a sharp slide in public support for Koizumi's cabinet from near 90 percent when he took power in April 2001 to a record low of 36 percent last week.
		Exit polls have the LDP losing two to four of it 116 upper house seats, but maintaining its majority on the strength of those won by its coalition partner New Komeito.

	Ruling coalition suffers backlash in Japan's upper house election
		The results of Japan’s upper house election on July 11 revealed a continuing political backlash against Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi& economic and foreign policy agenda, in particular his decision to send Japanese troops to bolster the US occupation of Iraq.
		Some political commentators have greeted the upper house election result as further evidence that a “two-party system” is emerging in Japan that will end the LDP’s monopoly of power.
		The voter turnout of 56.57 percent, marginally higher than in the July 2001 upper house election, was one of the lowest ever.
