Japan will hold an upper house election on Sunday -- a major test for the coalition of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, which is at risk of losing its majority in the chamber as it did in the lower house last October.

In this video we speak with Rintaro Nishimura, an associate in The Asia Group's Japan practice, about what is at stake in this election, the key issues, what the polls say and the emergence of a new right-wing force in Japan.
