Actually Nakai & Shingo's hangout/close friends are only their hometown friends.
I don't really know much about Nakai, but everytime he tells a story he's hanging out with friends it's either "Shingo & Tsuyoshi" or "my hometown friends". He never really talk about having friends from the entertainment world. And I personally think, he's not that type of guy either. He's the type of guy who feels more comfortable to hang out with his hometown friends.
While, Shingo...he mentioned this hundreds of times in talk shows or interviews. He DOESN'T like making friends with celebrities, people from the entertainment world. He doesn't let other actors and/or actresses who plays in the same dramas with him, to know his cellphone number. He feels being an entertainer himself, is already TAIHEN and difficult.
He feels more comfortable if he spend his leisure times and having-fun times with people who doesn't remind him of the entertainment world. That's why he often invite his hometown friends to his house/mansion on his off-days, to play house soccer or cook together. He also mentioned this in SNAP NO SHINGO.
I think his entertainment-world friends are only SMAP members^^ He said, he has SMAP members' keitai numbers, but that's it....he never save other artists' numbers xD
To think of it....that must be the reason why he chose A-san, instead of Uehara Takako, Yuuka, or Mizuki Arisa, ne!!!! :sweat:
