you're living in japan right? how do you address your friends? i normally drop the -san , also to older friends. but even than it depends on my relationship with them, how old they are etc.

-kun are widely used among peers, as -san would be too formal and polite, not quite within the circle kind or a thing.
While -chan would be for close , familiar and affectionate friends.
When I was in the university in Japan many years ago, I have had friends calling me -chan, -kun, and -san. It all depended on how close they were to me.
