A whiiiiile back, a friend of mine was playing this weird game on his laptop. I asked what it was.
"Oh, it's a shooter game, TooHoo or something."
"Oh, kind of like 1943 or something—"

The "feel the magic" touhou flash movie was my first real exposure to it where I found out what it was from.

I'd seen pictures like this one as well, but I didn't realize the character was from any particular series at the time. LOL REISEN IS GENERIC, yeah, we know.

In 2006 I read about it in a local gaming magazine.

In 2007 a friend started including Touhou original and arrange tracks in the music batch he occasionally shared with me.

In 2008 I had been playing the games and for some time, started reading doujinshi and looking for more music arranges independently.

In 2009 I browsed /jp/ for the first time, started following specific events online.

In 2010 everything Touhou all the time

The games can be really rewarding and the flow of it is just enjoyable, thanks especially to the music. Often times people complain about how you can memorize bullet patterns but that's missing the point, I think. It's the overall experience when the whole screen fills with bullets and the boss theme kicks in. I had a huge grin on my face because of Zun art the first times I played too. I hadn't really played shmups since Raptor shareware and the nostalgia had a big impact on me too, I guess.

I first learned about Touhou from your ridiculous hijacs.

I saw "Marisa stole the precious thing" in 2006. On a little side note, I forgot that I watched that entirely and up until a few days ago I kept stalling on watching it. It was nice when I saw that and remembered watching it in 2006, not knowing what relevance the lyrics or actions the video had.
