Kelly Chen arrives but her baggage doesn't

Tuesday 29th July, 03:07 PM JST

TOKYO —

Hong Kong singer-actress Kelly Chen, 35, attended an event in Tokyo on Monday to introduce Hong Kong’s satellite broadcasting service MATV Movie Asia, but had to show up in casual clothes because her baggage was lost at Narita Airport.

Chen apologized at the event, saying, “I brought something dressy to wear, but my baggage didn’t turn up at the airport.”

MATV has been operating in Japan since March on SkyPerfect TV. The company said all programs will have Japanese subtitles and it will create original content for Japan as well.

She didn't have time to buy something on the way?

That's what I wondered about at first, too. But it probably was planned she would appear in her casual wear!

Well, I'll just have to say 'very attractive and obviously talented, even without luggage.'

How about some real facts? "her baggage was lost at Narita airport" or, "my baggage didn't turn up at the airport". So, did it leave HK? Or not?

My thoughts exactly. In my experience 9 times out of 10 when a bag is 'lost' it was never loaded on to the flight to begin with. Not surprised it's being blamed on Narita though...

You said so yourself...9 times out of 10. Maybe this was the 1 time.

Looks like she mislaid her trousers. Not that that's a bad thing...

You really think so? If you do then you need to go out today and buy yourself a lottery ticket...

Lost the baggage, but kept the babage.

USNinJapan2: It's basic probability. A 10% chance is hardly insignificant. Anyhow, your sample is way to small to draw any sort of meaningful conclusions from.

By the way where did you get the 9/10 statistic? Has it happened to you 10 times? Or is it the combined experience of you and the people that you know?
