Number Ten Blues[2] (Japanese: ナンバーテン・ブルース さらばサイゴン, Chinese: 第十藍調, Vietnamese: Đệ-thập lam-điệu) or Goodbye Saigon (Japanese: サヨナラ・サイゴン, Chinese: 告别西貢, Vietnamese: Giã-biệt Sài-gòn) is a 1975 Japanese 35mm fujicolor film directed by .

Plot[]
Saigon in February 1975, during the final stage of the Vietnam War, there is another story of love and violence. Japanese businessman Sugimoto (Yūsuke Kawazu) accidentally kills a Vietnamese man. He loses all title and social status that supported his wealthy position in Vietnam. He decides to escape from Vietnam. He heads North on the military road under battle conditions, with his lover, Lan (Thanh Lan), and Taro ( ), who is the half-blood son of an ex-Japanese soldier and a Vietnamese woman since World War II. Who knows what awaits them: is it liberation or total catastrophe?
The 20th-century was marked by war and turbulence. As the Vietnam War sunk deeper into morass, another story of love and violence played out. Japanese were ecstatic to be thought of at the time as 'No. 1' in the world. By contrast, 'No. 10' signaled the opposite meaning.
