We at METALVERSE are very happy to be performing the opening theme for the movie "GROTESQQQUE". The theme song ``Shoot Shoot Shoot'' connects each movie, and each scene has wonderful visuals and music that overlap, and after watching all three movies, I felt like I was watching a single story, and I wanted to watch it again and again. I would be happy if everyone could enjoy our songs as well as this movie.
