Despite the cancellation of DIR EN GREY's TOUR20 疎外(SOGAI), Japanese guitar manufacturer ESP (Electronic Sound Products) has decided to release a limited production of the guitar picks originally designed for the tour. There are three models available—one for each of the band's guitarists.
Kaoru's model is a 0.7mm polyacetal pick featuring a cute cat design on the front with "DIR EN GREY TOUR 20 疎外 薫" on the back.

Die's model is a red 0.8mm polyacetal pick with a butterfly design split across the front and back.

Toshiya's model is also a 0.8mm red polyacetal pick. The front design is a play on the logo for the legendary 1988 animated cyberpunk film Akira (アキラ) directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. The back features a pill design with "疎外" printed on the capsule, encircled by "DIR EN GREY TOUR20 SOGAI." This is also a reference to the capsule on the back of Kaneda's red leather biker jacket.
