Remarkably, a man has figured out how to carve a [piece of broccoli](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/broccoli-cheddar-pizookie) so that it enables him to blast out recognizable tunes. In this video, the creative Japanese musician plays the carrot-stuffed broccoli stem to the tune of classic Christmas carol, 'Angels We Have Heard on High.' [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopstix) user Heita3 plays the 'instrument' with the accompaniment of his wife. While this video was uploaded two Christmases ago, it's picked up a lot of buzz in the last few days, and could likely get viral status so close to the holidays. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco Instruments:** The trend of using unconventional and eco-friendly materials to create musical instruments, providing opportunities for sustainable innovation in the music industry. - **Food-based Instruments:** The trend of using food items as musical instruments, opening up possibilities for unique and creative sounds and experiences in the field of music. - **Viral Musical Performances:** The trend of videos showcasing unusual musical performances gaining viral status, creating opportunities for content creation and online marketing strategies in the entertainment industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music:** The music industry can explore the potential of eco instruments and food-based instruments to offer unique musical experiences and cater to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies can leverage the trend of food-based instruments to create innovative marketing campaigns and engage with audiences through music-related collaborations. - **Digital Media:** Digital media platforms and content creators can tap into the trend of viral musical performances to create engaging and shareable content, driving traffic and generating revenue through ads and sponsorships. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Bio-Synth Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-scion.md) - [Corn-Based Music Albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-remastered.md) - [Plant-Powered MIDI Sound Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-hultn-tegel.md) - [Plant-Based Meatball Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggieball-christmas-tree.md) - [Christmas Tree-Shaped Veggie Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-holiday-trees.md) - [Coffee Ground-Made Music Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowie.md) - [Smartphone-Based Musical Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artinoise-zefiro.md) - [Recycled Guitar Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-guitar-1.md) - [Vegetable-Themed Playful Personality Quizzes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-vegetable-are-you.md)
