Thanks for the help.

Strictly speaking, both holding an umbrella in one hand and not using a light at night are prohibited by the traffic laws. You
can be fined for up to 50,000 yen for doing either one.
The chances are, though, if a cop catches you doing either, you will only be asked to get off the bike and walk it.
