Believe it or not, from a fanfiction of all things. Specifically, "Touhou: Journey to the Smashing Beyond" by Game2002 on Fanfiction.net. Prior to that, I never even heard of Touhou once and was just looking for something good to read. The story listed some Touhou music tracks which I decided to check out shortly after, so what followed is only natural. I became hooked on the music, and then decided to check on the series itself. I played the games, browsed the fan art, and eventually listened to many Touhou doujin circles.
