What key/time signature is this song in?

[Sebastian]

There are probably a couple different ways this song's time sig could be put, but I would recommend 6/8 at 54 BPM.

EDIT: Key signature is A Minor (no flats/sharps).

And what about the key signature?

smooth edit skills

And what about the key signature?

Sorry about that.....guess I didn't edit quick enough
It's in A minor (no sharps/flats.)

Plz and Thank you

C Major and 4/4 at 100 BPM. Since it sounds like it's in 2, I'd notate it in 2/2 at 100 BPM.

[Zeila]

Just to clarify, I believe this is in 10/8, but I heard that the pattern is also common in 5/4 time. Other than that, I need the key sigs for both songs

The 1st song is IMO best notated just chromatically with sharps and flats.
Second one is E flat minor/D sharp minor.

Yay CotN! I should compose some of the music as well

Time sig? I wanna say something like 9/8, but they kinda feel like triplets.

Also, suggestions on composer name spelling while I'm here? I've seen: Ko Otani, Koh Ohtani, Koh Otani, Kow Otani, Kou Otani, Kô Ôtani, Kō Ōtani, etc...
Japanese Characters: 大谷 幸
His Wikipedia page says Kow Otani, as does his VGMdb page.

I'd personally go with 9/8 here.

I actually don't know if you should go with the way the composer chooses to render their name, which appears to be Kow Otan, or if you should go with the way they are credited in the game, which appears to be Kō Ōtani. Although, the most common romanization nowadays would be Kō Ōtani in western naming order (in Japanese, the order is family name before given name). The other spellings come from different romanization types.

The Sunlit Earth:

It almost seems like a 6/8 but as a compound time signature, that would be 18/16. But later in the song it seems a bit more like a 9/8, which I'd go with since it's much more common. You could also do 3/4 or 6/8 with triplets, but there's really no need to since the song contains constant triplets so you could just write it as 9/8 for simplicity.

I didn't know where else to post this, so I'll post it here.
I have a question about my arrangement.

Spoiler

Should the Bbs in 18, 22, and others like it be A#s (The B in the right hand and the A# in 23 is what tipped me off)? In 23 I put an A# because of the B in the next measure and because it's an ascending passage.
I think the Bbs should be A#s.....am I correct?


EDIT:

Since the piece is in a sharped key signature, I would recommend using A#'s instead of Bb's.

nay nay my friend. That's not how it works.

Here's what I'd do:
mm. 18 LH: Bb's as written, since it sounds like a lowered fifth rather than a raised fourth.
mm. 18 RH: B natural as written (with a courtesy natural). That is just V - i (easy)
mm. 22 LH: keep the Bb's, since it's an ostinato (a figure that repeats underneath the melody).
mm. 23 RH: keep the A#. Chromatic ascent.

tl;dr (hardly) you had it right the first time.
