Assuming I have a Sake token on Yoritomo Eihiko can I play Succumb to Vice targeting an opponents unit, use Yoritomo Eihiko on the unit, then bow and dishonor Yoritomo Eihiko to complete paying the costs?

Many thanks!

Succumb to Vice Limited: Bow and dishonor your performing Personality with one or more Sake tokens, and pay Gold equal to the targeted unit’s total Gold Cost: Destroy a target unit.

yoritomo eihiko Reaction: After you announce an action: Reduce the Gold Cost of a target card (in play) by 2 until the action ends.

Nothing prevents it that I can see.
