Kono Oto Tomare! is ending, and our free music shelf is three shows
239 television entries in our index carry the Music genre. 3 of them state a free episode count on the live site, 26 episodes in all, and neither Kono Oto Tomare! season is one of them.

Anime News Network reports that the Kono Oto Tomare! manga has three chapters left before it finishes. Serialisation began in August 2012. We hold both television seasons: both first aired in 2019, each records 13 episodes, and both carry the genres Drama, Music, Romance and Slice of Life. Neither season's page states a free episode count. It is a fair moment to look at the rest of the music shelf.
Three out of 239
Our index tags 239 television entries with the genre Music. Three of them state a free episode count on the live site, and those three come to 26 episodes between them. Counts are computed per viewer country; this is the view from the United States. Of the rest, 216 hold no episode source row in our index, and 20 hold rows but state no count. The groups do not overlap and add to 239.
The three are Gravitation (2000) at 13 episodes, Sound of the Sky (2010) at 12, and takt op.Destiny (2021) at 1.
Sound of the Sky, all 12 episodes
The site states 12 free episodes and our index records 12, so that is the complete run. All 12 come from Nozomi Entertainment, a channel that does not carry a YouTube verified badge. The uploads have no selectable caption track. The English subtitles are burned into the picture instead: a still frame from the episode 10 upload shows English subtitle text across the bottom. The episode 1 and episode 10 uploads each run 1,465 seconds against a recorded episode length of 24 minutes, so these are full episodes and not clips. The country list on those rows is Canada and the United States. No upload is filed against two different episodes, and none is shared with another series.
takt op.Destiny offers one episode, the first of a recorded 12. The English upload sits on the Crunchyroll channel, which carries a YouTube verified badge. It is titled "takt op.Destiny Episode 1 English Dub" and reports both an authored English subtitle track and an automatic English caption track, which is evidence of English audio. It runs 1,430 seconds against a recorded 24 minutes, and the row carries no country restriction.
Gravitation states 13 free episodes against a recorded 13, so that is a complete run too. It comes from Nozomi Entertainment, which does not carry a YouTube verified badge, and the country list is Canada and the United States. The episode 1, 2, 10 and 13 uploads run between 1,319 and 1,412 seconds against a recorded episode length of 23 minutes. Our page for it carries no language note.
Rows we hold that state nothing
Three of those 20 show a pattern we have reported before. Ave Mujica (2025) holds 13 rows, all from the Muse Asia channel, whose country list covers Southeast Asian countries and does not include the United States. BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA (2026) holds 11 more, also Muse Asia, covering South and Southeast Asian countries and again not the United States. Those two alone account for 24 episodes a reader in the United States cannot reach. Umamusume: Pretty Derby (2018) holds three episodes on Crunchyroll's Brazilian and Spanish-language channels, in Portuguese and Spanish. Our counts take only rows recorded as English or Japanese, so those three do not appear.
