I dunno. I'd be a little annoyed if it was. I mean I guess it brings the quests full circle and it does make sense how Yae would be involved. But it's just too convenient.
Anyway I got today's Super Sentai right. We knew the colors because of their Japanese aliases and character cameos that just happened to debut on the day we need a painting of that Kasen. Suikou is green from Sui meaning like really really green so Venti. Aoi n- the rest of it isn't important because any anime fan knows Aoi = blue so Xingqiu. And then Aka for red in Akahito would have to mean we got Kazuha's cameo today.
Meanwhile Sumizome and Kuronushi are interesting. We already knew from the first note that somebody was white and somebody was black. Kuro again is super common in anime so black but Sumizome actually means dyed in black ink - the Sumi part is black ink - so it's like someone who was corrupted from white to black. So Sumizome and Kuronushi have to be related. I originally thought they might have been lovers but family works too if some kind of family scandal perpetrated by Kuronushi tarnished Sumizome's reputation as well.
Of course that didn't exactly happen. Instead Sumizome cleansed the black ink of Kuronushi that was trying to frame Akahito and that fits Ayaka's purity pretty well. But then it also means the Yashiro Commission are at fault for what happened to the Kaedehara Clan. And Ayato knew about that and didn't do anything until now probably because of the Vision Hunt Decree and Tenryou scheme with the Fatui.
And with Ayato acting as Kuronushi it makes sense that Yae was involved with it and likely why Venti was roped into it. So I'm still expecting Part 4 to hint at their relationship.
But since the overarching theme for the event was supposed to be Cool Japan it feels weird that the story ends up being Ayato making up for the Yashiro Commission's mistakes that ruined the families of the Raiden Gokaden specifically Kazuha's. Also you'd think Ei actually has much more to apologize to the guy for but she already had her cameo. 
As for that cameo it was really cute. Sara being a super simp and Ei being clueless. I'm fairly certain too that Yae has these collectibles made just to both poke fun at Ei and tease Sara about her crush. I wouldn't even put it passed her to have specifically designed the Pretty Please specialty drink to have soy milk in it just because she knew Itto would want a cup.
Meanwhile I am really glad MiHoYo levels up your Traveler for the new event. I was wondering if I'd have to finally use my books on the guy. Mine's still lvl20 haha. Also if all the enemies had this kind of signaling it would be so much easier to use Beidou. But so far all the times I do trials of her character I almost never get the timing right. My guess is on Day 4 that's the kind of enemy we'll have to take on and it'll be frustratingly impossible to get the timing right.....
How did everybody do with that? How hard do you think it'll get?
