The song they contributed to the soundtrack, Someday, was used for the first trailer of the movie, and later in the movie for the closing scene and credits.

Being true to the real spirit of a grad student, the song was composed by Konstantin the night before the recording session, and rehearsed in a jam session the day of the recording!

After a couple of hours of recording, a first raw version of the music was produced. Many additional hours were necessary to update the song to its final version: the intro was developed, a new secondary solo track and an added guitar at the end were also added.

The song was composed and recorded by Konstantin Batygin (guitar and vocals), Ajay Limaye (bass) and Kunio Sayanagi (keyboard).
