Meaning Mnemonic

Someone decided to build a bunch of buildings and turn them into a metropolis. You don't know who they are, but now an absolute ton of other someones you don't know also live here in these buildings and work in this busy metropolis.

Hints

Imagine just how many different someones live in this metropolis. There are so many people, you'll never meet them all!

Reading Mnemonic

You try to picture the faces of all the people who live in this metropolis, but for some reason you can only picture their toes (と). And there are ten times as many toes in this city than someones.

Hints

If you think about it, every metropolis is completely jam-packed-full of toes. Just picture it. Toes. Everywhere. In every building. Filling up the streets.
