How did you find Touhou?

Found the game through memes, ended up downloading LoLK and spending my entire summer trying to beat the game on normal. After that I had too much affinity for the series to let it go, so I dove headfirst into it.

 
As with most others on this forum, my introduction to the series was weird and took awhile. I don't quite remember how I found it but I started listening to the EOSD soundtrack somewhere around late 2017ish. I was also really into Pokemon at the time and started playing the Touhoumon GBA hacks. It was quite a trip playing those with no context. Eventually I decided I was gonna start playing the official games and download EOSD and LolK. I don't know how far I made it in EOSD but I made it to Clownpiece in LolK then gave up because I decided I was getting too angry over my repeated failure. Fast forward to now and I've beat 3,6,7,8, and 9! I'm still far too intimidated to try LolK again though. 

 
The first Touhou game that I played was Perfect Cherry Blossom years ago. As for finding this website, One day at work, I was surfing the internet, but the school that I work at has a lot of websites blocked so that the kids won't access bad sites. Luckily, I searched for Touhou, and behold, this website was one of the few that wasn't blocked by the tech administrators. 

 
me is pretty special too :
i had a weird phase where i was constently thinking that i was missing something, and i was starting to do a lot of different things in order to find what i was missing.
after a while, i thaught that i could discover a new kind of video game, so i started to think about what kind of games i never played and if i knew a game of such kind, and the name "touhou" crossed my mind.
without thinking twice, i immediately searched online the first touhou game that i could play (sorry pc 98) and bought it, physically.
after around two weeks of playing EoSD, i decided that this was the holy land that i have been searching my whole life, and imeditely downloaded every games, spinoffs and all (i'm not rich).
so i was just lucky i guess

 
Mine is...

Bad Apple! English cover-Game over nitro fun, got a link to cir9's theme-Perfect piano Lunatic princess midi-Undertale stuff-Osu-Tearrain-Sakuya boss battle-Mobile fangames-Downloading the game-Got stuck and never regret (I usually change fandom for like per 1 year, but I'm still faithful 2019-2020 and counting)

"Wait It's all Touhou from the start?"

"Always has been"

From 2012 to 2019, I was exposed by Touhou without me knowing that

Once you go in, you could never come back~

 
I'm not special at all. I came from JZboy's Frisk vs Sakuya and immediately discovered I had a thing for touhou. And look at me now Been a fan for three years. 

 
Ronald McDonald Insanity got me like a few years ago and i start to know touhou like recently

 
Learned about it when I was younger from Bad Apple!! and Ronald McDonald Insanity, forgot about it, and a whole bunch of stuff came up in my recommended literally 7 years later

 
my friend was actually really into touhou for like years before i started playing, and he told me about this game called "touhou luna nights" which is really fun if you like metroidvanias (pretty short though)

i liked the funny clownpiece and decided to play the game with her in it, and, to this day, still cannot beat her

 
When i was little I randomly came across this video, looking for piano tutorials (since I play piano frquently) 



This video has a very special place in my heart, it was the first black midi video I had ever seen and blew my mind, and I also loved the melody, which was in my head for years. I go back to that video and a similar bad apple piano tutorial all the time for nostalgias sake.

oh, and I found out the original song was from touhou through the comments on the video, and I looked up the game and was shocked at how hard the game looked, just like anyone else.

 
Rampaging Sakuya somewhere in 2009, unfortunately I forgot about it and only in 2019 remembered it after hearing Night of Nights in a different meme

So a couple of years ago I saw videos with rampaging sakuya theme (I cant remember the videos) and I never saw the themes of touhou again until... I used to play and watch battle cats, so one battle cats vid used touhou music and some time later I got reccomended tohou themes from a youtuber called ScarletFlame (or something like that) so I didn't know ANYTHING about the games yet as I got hooked on touhou music. After a year or so (after moving on from tohou music) a close friend of mine looked into the description of the video and searched the characters up and found the tohou games and told me, and I got promptly hooked. So yea.. my first piece of tohou I ever saw was from random videos I can't even remember.

Like most people:From music.

 I found the music a long time ago, I thought it was really good, but didn't care to search it up until a year later, so then I basically became addicted. (And still kinda am.)

 
It started around October of 2020. I was as usual browsing Youtube until I came across a Touhou animation. I've gotten these time to time and anytime I watched some my recommendations get bombarded by Touhou stuff. This time was no different, but it finally made me go and actually find out what Touhou actually was. I played TH 6 1st and slowly but surely I made it to where I am now, a huge fan of the series.
