  We introduce a small correction term, \delta M_\nu, in the neutrino sector
and examine whether a large \theta_13 and an almost maximal \theta_23 can
simultaneously be obtained starting from the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing. It
is found that one can easily gain \theta_13 \simeq 10^\circ, which is favored
by the recent T2K experiment, by taking account of the enhancement due to the
degeneracy among three neutrino masses. We also find that (\delta
M_\nu)_22=(\delta M_\nu)_33 is a key condition for \theta_23 \simeq 45^\circ.
