thanx! 

i’ve never heard about Touhou Project, but yeah, Haruka really looks similar wow.  Is it worth playing?

No, unless you're into bullet hells and shoot'em ups like in Space Invaders, except absolutely harder.
The Touhou Project is an ongoing franchise that started as early as 1996. It's one of those arcade games you see where they get praised for its absurd difficulty and high scores. The game was created by one guy and managed to spawn in one of the biggest and loyal fanbases in the internet despite the gameplay being absurdly difficult and the Artstyle being very lacking.

One defining feature of Touhou is the music being one of the best kind of music for a game that mostly looks like this:

the songs itself are particularly high quality and mostly absolute bangers, here's an example for one of the theme song of the final boss in one of the more recent release 4 years ago: 

Not only the songs in the main game is amazing, the remixes of every song by the fans is amazing. The amount of remixes for the music on this franchise is spectacular to quote a webpage (source: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AwesomeMusic/TouhouProject):

"To put the sheer number of remix CDs in perspective, there is a torrent which weighs over one terabyte (specifically 1.8 TB or 1,817,738,246,162 bytes) of over 3000 Touhou remixes, and that only includes the ones that the (English-speaking) maintainers of the torrent have added. It would take over a decade to download it all, and it's getting bigger as more remixes come around."
