Nコン (Ncon) is a country-wide school musical competition
According to wikipedia it started in 1932 @@
Every year, selected artists compose a song based on a given theme, and schools across the country compete to perform the best interpretation.
Among the most familiar songs are "YELL" from ikimonogakari, that was selected for the primary schools category in 2009, and Angela Aki's "Tegami" on 2008.
For next year's contest, the theme chosen was "Light"
And YUI was selected to compose the song for middle schools category! :clap

I don't know much more details of this contest. Maybe ikimono fans know more?
This year's song was "Akashi" by Flumpool. The arrangement was made by a recognized classical composer.

The release of this single was...last month xD So maybe we'll have to wait a while to hear YUI's new song xD
But I think the song that YUI is writting now is for this contest!
