The Taiko series is back in the game for making an appearance at the Hakurei Shrine Reitasai and -as expectable- the other music game competitors are also coming up with some Touhou-related content to celebrate, either at the convention itself or in the public arcade grounds. Wanna take a look?

Arguably the major opposing competitor to Konami's SOUND VOLTEX for the 'King of Touhou' title in music gaming, Taito's Groove Coaster 1-ups the aforementioned rival my coming back to this Autumn's Reitasai edition, while also backing it up with a public October event that mostly stars Touhou songs. If you like musical arrangements from either Lunarian rabbit themes or Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom songs, this is most certainly the event for you!
Rest assured that the Reitasai attenders can try all the new songs in advance, prior to their public outings.
10月14日(日)開催の『博麗神社秋季例大祭』セガブースにて販売する商品ラインナップをご紹介！今回の新商品は、「オンゲキ」に登場する東方Projectキャラクター7人のアクリルキーチェーンマスコット！— ゲキ！チュウマイ（maimai・CHUNITHM・オンゲキ共通） (@performai) October 3, 2018

This timearound, Sega is attending the jolly Reitasai convention with three different arcade music games, while also selling some exclusive Touhou merchandise on the side, as shown above. Other kinds of goods from Sega music gaming are available as well!
For what concerns the veterans, both maimai and CHUNITHM had Touhou-themed song updates, with the former getting (among other things) the Beat Mario arrange of Groove Coaster boss-song fame and the latter nabbing one of the many Cirno's Perfect Math Class arrangements that were made for the IOSYS song's 10th anniversary.
9/20(木)より、「東方紅魔郷」とのコラボイベントを開催します！！イベントチャプターでは東方紅魔郷の楽曲5曲が遊べます！さらにオリジナル描きおろしの5キャラクターのカードも手に入れることができます！！ https://t.co/zFqwy34zvG pic.twitter.com/MorZAb3hJV— オンゲキ公式@10/4新曲追加！ (@ongeki_official) September 18, 2018
A bigger deal of attention, however, has to be put on Ongeki (オンゲキ), Sega's newcomer music game series. One of the arcade's major features is its peculiar character-selection roster for the game, engaged by players in the off-chance that they can get their own special card from the arcade machine itself beforehand. Said cards can be used to summon up to three characters at your side, ready to unleash their skills and aid you clearing Ongeki's hardest trials.
The tweet you're looking at is for Ongeki's latest event which, as you may guess from the Reitasai theme of this post, it's Touhou related. Until October 18th, the arcade will have a chance to give out the card of a Touhou character from the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil by playing any of the Touhou songs in a credit. with a chance of getting the SSR card variants of the Scarlet vampire sisters.
Autumn Reitasai attenders of this year can also obtain an SR card of Hakurei Reimu for free, as this tweet testifies!
