		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.
